Abstract :
Modeling, design and experimental verification of E-plane ridge waveguide filters are presented. The proposed filters have been integrated in a fully double ridge waveguide diplexer including a double ridge waveguide T-junction. Mode matching method based tools have been developed for the electromagnetic simulation of ridge waveguide filters and T-junctions. Design procedures for the filters and diplexers are also presented. Experimental testing for the ridge waveguide filter and comparison with commercial finite element method simulator for a diplexer structure confirms the accuracy of the developed tools.
