Design of a SIW Bandpass Filter Using Defected Ground Structure with CSRRs

Abstract EN

In this paper, a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) bandpass filter using defected ground structure (DGS) with complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs) is proposed.

By using the unique resonant properties of CSRRs and DGSs, two passbands with a transmission zero in the middle have been achieved.

The resonant modes of the two passbands are different and the bandwidth of the second passband is much wider than that of the first one.

In order to increase out-of-band rejection, a pair of dumbbell DGSs has been added on each side of the CSRRs.

The structure is analyzed using equivalent circuit models and simulated based on EM simulation software.

For validation, the proposed filter is fabricated and measured.

The measurement results are in good agreement with the simulated ones.
