Experimental study demonstrates compact ridge waveguide filters with arbitrarily placed transmission zeros, indicating a viable strategy for microwave device miniaturization.
Compact size ridge waveguide filters based on the nonresonating node concept are introduced to realize transfer functions with arbitrarily placed attenuation poles. Coupling mechanisms, suitable for the new realization are introduced in diverseE-plane andH-plane configurations and with different input-output interfaces. These coupling structures are studied and characterized in detail in order to simplify the design of the proposed filters. Rigorous mode-matching method is used to accelerate the full-wave design of the filter configurations, whose response is also verified using other numerical techniques and experimental data. To validate the proposed novel designs, a prototype has been built and tested. Measurement results agree well with the predicted theoretical simulations.
