LOW-COST C-BAND SIW BANDPASS FILTER USING FR4-EPOXY SUBSTRATE

This paper describes a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) filter built on an Fr4-Epoxy substrate with a dielectric constant 4.4 and a height of h=1.6mm. SIW-based devices have piqued the interest of researchers in recent years due to their low loss, small size, and low cost. The goal is to simulate and realize a SIW filter for C-band applications. The designed filter is analyzed using the reflection coefficient S11 and electric field distributions. We used the HFSS simulator. According to the findings, there is a high degree of agreement between the simulated and realized filters. The results also show that the filter has a very good response. It also shows a bandwidth of 6.3GHz around the C-band frequencies. This filter's pass-band ranges from 5.39 to 6.83GHz, with an insertion loss of 4.2dB and a return loss of 45.49dB.
