Abstract
A surface-mountable millimeter-wave waveguide filter is constructed using irises in a rectangular waveguide formed in a dielectric material such as glass. The filter structure is surface-mountable, has a single dielectric layer, and can be manufactured using a suitable monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) process. The filter has potential applications in millimeter-wave systems such as Local Multipoint Distribution System (LMDS) and Autonomous Cruise Control (ACC) radar for automobiles.
