Compact Tri-band Half-Mode Substrate Integrated Waveguide Loaded by Meandered Slot Line for Wireless Communications
This paper presents the utilization of a half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) cavity loaded with a meandered slot line (MSL) to design a miniaturized a 2nd order tri-band bandpass filter (BPF). The MSL was employed to independently control the operating passbands and to reduce the filter size. A systematic...
