Abstract :
This paper presents the study of rectangular waveguide filters with rounded corners in the cross-section of the waveguides. These components are suitable for low-cost mass production and can be rigorously analyzed by efficient CAD tools. The analysis approach described in this paper is based on the integral equation technique in conjunction with the boundary integral-resonant mode expansion method. Two representative examples are also reported.
