Description
Summary:This paper presents a 300 GHz waveguide bandpass filter based on asymmetric inductive irises. The coupling matrix synthesis technique is used to design a 6-pole Chebyshev filter. In addition, an artificial neural network is applied to provide the filter geometries using the desired frequency response. The optimized filter is fabricated by the computer numeric controlled milling process. The measurement results show that the insertion loss is less than 3 dB and the return loss is better than 17 dB in the range 276–310 GHz.
