Abstract

 In order to meet the practical requirements of creating filters on conventional rectangular waveguides with compact size and high quality factor, applied in wireless and radar systems. This paper studies the possibilities of realization of cross-coupler filters with transmission zeros in the rectangular waveguides using metal-dielectronic E-plane inserts. Determining the types of resonators and potential coupling schemes, which can be implemented in rectangular waveguide, taking into account the technological constraints, then built and developed a suitable design procedure for the realization of the cross-coupler filters. The paper also presents the calculation and simulation of an example of cross-coupler filter design using E-plane inserts in rectangular waveguide based on a combination of septa and stripline resonators, verifed the accuracy of theory and design method.
