Abstract

Electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) concept is used to create cavity by dimensioning a variant cell (or defect) inside a 2D EBG material. Compact high unloaded Q cavity (Qu ~ 2500) and narrow two and three pole filters are designed in Ka band. They are manufactured by layer-by-layer stereolithography and made out of high permittivity yttria-stabilized Zirconia. Measurements of the three pole filter working at 33.45GHz exhibits an 1.05% bandwidth and an insertion loss of 1.7dB. These specifications are close to the theoretical values of 33GHz (1.5% shift in central working frequency) and 0.95% bandwidth
