Development of Millimeter-Wave Planar Diplexers Based on Complementary Characters of Dual-Mode Substrate Integrated Waveguide Filters With Circular and Elliptic Cavities

A novel high-performance millimeter-wave planar diplexer is developed based on the complementary characters of substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) dual-mode filters with circular and elliptic cavities by making the tradeoff between the isolation, insertion loss, and selectivity. The responses of the dual-mode SIW circular and elliptic cavities are first investigated. It can be found that the upper side response of the circular cavity and the lower side response of the elliptic cavity are very steep. The diplexers with high isolation performance are then designed based on the complementary response characters of circular and elliptic cavities. A diplexer with two dual-mode SIW circular and elliptic cavities is designed and fabricated with a normal printed circuit board process. The measured insertion losses are 1.95 and 2.09 dB in the upper and lower passbands centered at 26 and 25 GHz with the fractional bandwidths of 5.2% and 5.4%. The isolation is lower than - 50dB
