Abstract :
A microwave band pass filter centred at 10 GHz was designed and fabricated using screen printed, photoimageable thick film technology. The same design was also fabricated using traditional thin film technology as a comparison. Both techniques were successful and showed little differences between them. Photoimageable thick film technology was seen to be a good alternative for low cost, high frequency applications in this instance.
