Abstract

The boundary marching method is applied for the analysis of the waveguide bandpass filers. The vector finite element method with the perfectly matched layers (PML) as the matching load is given for parameter extraction of millimeter wave filters. The implementation of the fast boundary marching method is described in detail. The reflection and insertion losses of millimeter wave filters are obtained and compared with those obtained from literature.
