Application of the Planar I/O Terminal to Dual-Mode Dielectric-Waveguide Filters

Kazuhisa Sano, Member, IEEE and Meiji Miyashita

Page 2491.

Abstract:

Planar input/output terminals have been applied to dual-mode dielectric-waveguide filters. Two types of the filter, for a 13-GHz Ku-band and a 22-GHz K-band were designed and fabricated only by metal plating on the surfaces of a ceramic block. They are realized with very small volumes of less than 0.05 cm3.
