This paper proposed a novel compact bandpass filter with folded half mode substrate integrated waveguide (FHMSIW) cavities using two-layer printed circuit board(PCB) process. The area of the FHMSIW filter is reduced by nearly 50 % and 75 % compared with half mode substrate integrated waveguide(HMSIW) filter and substrate integrated waveguide(SIW) filter, respectively. A four-pole Chebyshev FHMSIW bandpass filter at C-band has been designed, simulated and fabricated. Measured results are presented and found to agree with the full-wave simulated results by using Ansoft HFSS. The filter shows good performance and compact size.

A spurious suppressed bandpass filter is proposed and discussed using the stepped impedance resonator(SIR) on a substrate-integrated waveguide(SIW) structure with a double-layer substrate. The second resonance of the fundamental $TE_{10}$ mode can be controlled by adjusting the electrical length and impedance ratio of each SIR. The spurious suppressed SIW bandpass filter shows the measurement results of the insertion loss of 3.98 dB and return loss of less than 11.58 dB at the center frequency of 12 GHz. Also, the second spurious frequency is improved to about $1.5f_0$ compared with $1.33f_0$.

In this paper, we propose an SIW(Substrate Integrated Waveguide) multi-section E-plane transformer using air-holes for an SIW system with variable thicknesses. Air-holes are inserted into a SIW E-plane quarter wavelength transformer for matching an E-plane impedance discontinuity. A PSIW(Punched Substrate Integrated Waveguide) consisted of air-holes has an SIW characteristic impedance tunability because of reducing a equivalent shunt capacitance of the SIW. And, a PSIW multi-section E-plane transformer is implemented for improving a matching bandwidth by using the Chebyshev polynomial. The measurement results of PSIW double-section E-plane transformer show that the insertion loss($S_{21}$) is $1.57{\pm}0.11$ dB and input return loss($S_{11}$) is more than 15 dB from 11.45 GHz to 13.6 GHz.

We propose a method for increasing the bandwidth of a substrate-integrated-waveguide (SIW) cavity-backed antenna with taper-based micro-strip SIW transition feeding. For radio transmission, a circular slot is etched on top of the SIW cavity. For optimal antenna design, the slot is etched slightly away from the cavity center to generate circularly polarized waves. Simulations show a wide axial ratio bandwidth of 7.860% between 11.02 GHz and 11.806 GHz. Experimental results confirm a similar wide axial ratio bandwidth of 4.9% between 10.8 GHz and 11.35 GHz. An SIW feed from an inductive window excites the radiating circular slot, resulting in a simulated wide impedance range of 1.548 GHz (10.338 GHz-11.886 GHz) and bandwidth of 13.93%. Experimental results show a wide impedance of 2.08 GHz (10.2 GHz-12.08 GHz) and bandwidth of 18.84%. The SIW cavity-backed antenna creates a unidirectional pattern, leading to gains of 6.61 dBi and 7.594 dBi in simulations and experiments, respectively. The proposed antenna was fabricated on a Rogers RT/Duroid 5880 substrate, and the reflection coefficient, radiation patterns, and gains were tested and compared using a computer simulator. The developed broadband antenna seems suitable for X-band applications.

The 4 by 4 series slot sub-array antenna is proposed using substrate integrated waveguide(SIW) technology for 35 GHz of Ka band application. The proposed antenna is realized with multi-layered structure for compact size and easy integration features. 4 by 4 radiating slots are arrayed on top PCB with equal spacing and the feeding SIWs are arranged on middle and bottom PCBs for uniform power distribution. The multi-layered antenna is realized using RT/Duroid 5880 that has dielectric constant of 2.2 and the total antenna size is $750.76mm^2$. The individual parts such as radiators and feeding networks are simulated using full-wave simulator CST MWS. Furthermore, the total sub-array antenna also fabricated and measured the electrical performances such as impedance bandwidth under the criteria of -10 dB(490 MHz), maximum gain(18.02 dBi), sidelobe level(SLL)(-11.0 dB), and cross polarization discrimination (XPD)(-20.16 dB).

In this paper, a triple-mode frequency-tunable filter is proposed to meet the recent demands of various frequency bands of mobile communication services. This filter has a tunable structure that can adjust the resonance frequency using a variable capacitor. To improve the quality factor, a SIW(Substrate Integrated Waveguide) structure was introduced and a structure that induces three resonance modes was implemented through a circular hole located in the center. The change in electric field distribution and resonance frequency by the variable capacitor was simulated using HFSS, and the change in electric field distribution and resonance frequency of Triple Mode mode was confirmed.

This paper reports on a fabrication of novel substrate integrated waveguide (SIW)-based shielded stripline applicable to the broadband transverse electromagnetic (TEM) single-mode propagation. We suggested a structure for half-SIW and half-shielded stripline, which combined through the benzocyclobutene (BCB) bonding layer. The electrical interconnection between the sidewall of anisotropic wet-etched silicon and patterned BCB layers is measured subsequent to the metalization on the side wall. The proposed SIW-based shielded stripline has great potential in terms of simple fabrication, integration with planar circuits and monolithic system fabricated on a SIW structure.

In this paper, the SIW(Substrate Integrated Waveguide)-based feeding antenna for the application of SDR(Software Defined Radar) is designed and manufactured. It is usually well-known that SIWs are easily integrated on PCB and have low transmission loss toward high powered input signal. Also, it is recommended that SIWs are strongly immunized to Electromagnetic Interferences(EMI). In particular, the manufactured antennas are loaded on the USRP(Universal Software Radio Peripheral) platform and employed to detect target RCS as an experiment in this paper. The operating frequency of the proposed antenna is in ISM(Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band(2.4~2.48 GHz) and the measured gain is over 8 dBi at 2.44 GHz.

An SIW cavity is a useful tool to design an FSS which shows a rapid roll-off rate and insensitivity to polarizations and incident angles of electromagnetic waves. However, due to its high Q-factor, the FSS also shows narrow bandwidth which is undesirable for high-capacity communication. To address this drawback, we propose a novel technique to enhance the bandwidth while maintaining similar frequency response characteristics and minimizing the increase of the overall thickness of the SIW cavity FSS. In order to verify the performance of the technique, simulated frequency responses will be provided. Also, a parameter which affects the bandwidth will be studied. Finally the stability to polarizations and incident angles will be observed through the simulated results.
