• Bandpass filter (BPF)
• Substrate integrated waveguide (SIW)
• Compact micro strip resonant cell (CMRC)

Based on the substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) and compact microstrip resonant cell (CMRC) technique, a compact and high performance planar bandpass filter (BPF) is proposed in this paper. The SIW cavity, which has the advantages of high quality and low insertion loss, provides a highpass characteristic. The CMRC structure etched on the top metal plane of the SIW cavity behaves as a lowpass filter, and it can also effectively reduce the dimension of the filter. In order to improve the out-of-band rejection and sharpen skirt selectivity, the open circuit lines at the input and output ports of the filter are introduced. Moreover, the bandwidth and center frequency of the proposed filter can be flexibly tuned by adjusting the cutoff frequencies of the SIW and CMRC separately. As a verification, a representative BPF having a center frequency of 4.54 GHz and a 3 dB bandwidth of 1.39 GHz is designed, fabricated, and experimentally evaluated. The simulated and measured results are in good agreement.
