Abstract :
A novel, vertical filter structure for millimeter wave LTCC circuits is presented. The design is based on a circular shielded plate arrangement with embedded inductor loops. Finite element simulations are consulted in order to study the filter response depending on various geometric parameters. Measurements on 8-layer LTCC test vehicles confirm the software predicted performance for frequencies up to 35 GHz
