Abstract :
A novel concept is presented to incorporate suspended stripline filters into extended circuits. To this end, the filters are designed with integrated transitions to microstrip. The necessary channel for suspended stripline is formed by a grove in the carrier plate and a small cap above the filter; the two parts of the channel are connected by rows of vias. Four example filters are presented to prove the concept - a lowpass filter with two transmission zeroes, an extremely broadband highpass filter, and a narrowband as well as an UWB bandpass filter
