This paper presents a C-band wide stopband bandpass filter (BPF) using quarter mode substrate integrated waveguide (QMSIW) cavities. The BPF is simply constructed by combining S-shaped slot and L-shaped slot loaded quarter-mode substrate integrated waveguide. A special negative coupling scheme with symmetrical S-shaped slots on the top and bottom metal planes connected by metallic vias is developed. The proposed structure provides more design flexibility in arranging the pitch of vias owing to the extended slot length. The filter has fractional bandwidth of 25% at center frequency of 5.5 GHz with return loss better than 24 dB and insertion loss less than 1.1 dB. Moreover, its first spurious response occurs at 22.5 GHz (about four times the central frequency), exhibiting an extremely wide stopband performance. An experimental SIW filter was fabricated, and good agreement was achieved between the simulated and measured results.
