Band-Pass Filter Based on Stacked Metal Plates in V-Band Waveguide Technology

Waveguide filters ideally require resonance chambers, whose shape is defined by sharp corners. As this is difficult to obtain by classical means of production, a cost-effective rectangular band-pass filter (BPF) based on multilayer waveguide (MLW) technology for V-band is proposed in this paper. The conveniently compact design of the filter is then supplied into a streamlined and automated procedure to transfer the design into production data. This in turn eliminates man made errors in production and leaves room for scalability.
