Miniaturization of SIW Cavity Filters Through Stub Loading

This article reports on a simple yet efficient miniaturization technique of substrate integrated waveguide cavity resonators through stub loading. The stubs are attached to the cavity side edges and they are coupled with the magnetic fields of the cavity. This setup allows the stub loaded cavity to operate below its fundamental resonant frequency. This miniaturization technique is demonstrated by developing a two pole filter in horizontally and vertically coupled configurations. The potential to incorporate electronic tuning and various possible applications of these miniaturized cavities in low frequency system-in-package designs make them an excellent choice as compared to their conventional counterparts.
