Abstract :
In this paper a novel multilayer triplexer is presented where a Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) filter is integrated with Substrate Integrated Coaxial (SICx) filters in the same space for system miniaturization. It will be shown that low cross-coupling levels are achieved. The SIW and one SICx filters are designed using Composite Rigth Left Hand (CRLH) cells, while the other SICx filter is designed using hairpin resonators. Simulated and experimental results are shown with good agreement.
