Abstract

New class of three dimensional (3-D) micromachined microwave planar filters at K and Ka-band are presented using LIGA micro-machined process. The K-and Ka-band filters show wide bandpass characteristics of~36% and ~39% with the insertion loss 1.26dB at 19.11GHz and 1.7dB at GHz, respectively. These filters can be applicable in high power MMIC of MIMIC.
