Abstract :
A novel filter based on e-plane metal-dielectric insert in rectangular waveguide is proposed. Properties of the structure containing metallic septa, C- and I-shaped resonators placed in waveguide are investigated. Pseudo-elliptic cross-coupled filter with direct source-load coupling is designed, simulated and fabricated. Experimental results are presented to prove feasibility of the filter. Significant size reduction is achieved.
