In this pare, a wideband three-order bandpass filter (BPF) is proposed. The proposed wideband filter is designed using the substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) structure by loading T-shape slots. A BPF with two resonators is formed by etching T-shape slots with different size on the top metal plane of the SIW structure. The filter is investigated with the theory of coupled resonator circuits. T...

Planar directional coupler using Substrate Integrated Waveguide technology (SIW) is proposed in this paper. The SIW coupler with tapered microstrip-SIW transitions are integrated on the same substrate. Planar form makes this coupler structure easily integrable in microwave planar circuits. These proposed power dividers can be applied to the design of the beam-forming network for communication s...
