Abstract
An original low cost and miniature bandstop filter for earth terminals in Ka-band satellite communications has been implemented on silicon membrane. In addition to an high attenuation (at least 24.5 dB) in the uplink band the filter exhibits very low insertion losses (close to 0.3 dB) in the downlink band
