Abstract :
A bandpass ridge waveguide filter, with input/output realized through tapped-in stripline is designed. Using rigorous mode matching technique the generalized scattering matrices of all the building blocks can be obtained. Design procedure is described and examples are given to demonstrate the features of the proposed coupling structure. The proposed structure shows a considerable reduction of the filter´s total length.
