Abstract :
A low temperature co-fired ceramic 150 GHz bandpass filter is, for the first time, designed and manufactured. Experimental electric performances are encouraging and validate the use of LTCC technology at submillimeter wave range. A Chebyshev 2-pole bandpass filter is achieved, with 1.6% bandwidth and 4.6 dB insertion loss. The unloaded quality factor is found to be 290.
