Periodic structures for original design of voluminous and planar microwave filters

摘要

The main objective of this paper is to demonstrate that periodic structure can be used to design filters at millimeter frequency band. Theoretical analyses are performed applying the Finite Element Method to design a volumic microwave filter at 35 GHz and a planar one at 6 GHz. Devices are built and tested at the IRCOM. Theoretical results are compared with success to experimental ones.
