Abstract :
Novel E-plane waveguide filters with periodically loaded resonators are proposed. The proposed filters make use of the slow wave effect in order to achieve improved stopband performance and size reduction of roughly 50% without introducing any complexity in the fabrication process. Numerical and experimental results are presented to validate the argument.
