            Abstract : 
In order to minimize the mass and the volume of the equipments of satellites payloads, a high power bandpass filter using square cross dielectric resonators excited on the TM110 mode has been developped and tuned. The resonator has a high unloaded quality factor, measured to 6500 and its construction provides a sufficient thermal diffusion path to the metal housing.
