Abstract

This paper describes the design and performance of various millimeter-wave printed-circuit filters and diplexers. These components include microstrip/suspended stripline and finline lowpass filters, capacitive-gap and inductive-iris-coupled bandpass filters, spurline bandstop filters, and finline diplexers. State-of-the-art performances from Ka-band (26.5 to 40 GHz) to D-band (110 to 170 GHz) have been obtained. Agreement between the measured and calculated results was also achieved.
