Abstract :
The design and testing of a new configuration of micromachined bandpass filter for millimetre-wave applications is presented. The design is based on image parameter representation of identical symmetrical cells connected in cascade. The measurements demonstrate transmission losses lower than 1 dB and very good agreement with the electromagnetic simulations.
