Description
Summary:	In this letter, novel miniaturized bandpass filters with wide stopband performance are proposed on the basis of the half-mode T-septum substrate integrated waveguide (HMTSSIW) resonator. The resonant TE n 00 and TE n 0 m modes of the HMTSSIW resonator are analyzed precisely using the Ritz-Galerkin method, and their resonant frequencies can be controlled flexibly by adjusting the sizes of resonator. A three-order HMTSSIW filter is fabricated using MEMS technology on the benzocyclobutene dielectric. Simulated and measured results show the advantages of compact size and wide stopband. Then, an electric coupling structure is introduced, which allows the further suppression of the spurious TE 300 mode by the controllable mixed coupling. Finally, a miniaturized HMTSSIW filter with 20-dB suppression beyond 10.37f_{0} is simulated and measured.
