Abstract :
A substrate integrated folded waveguide (SIFW), integrated transition to shielded stripline and a SIFW filter are demonstrated and shown to be in good agreement with X band measurements. Both the filter and waveguide are considerably smaller than their unfolded counterparts. Furthermore, the filter response is defined purely in terms of a photolithographically etched plane.
