A novel compact ka-band high-rejection diplexer based on substrate integrated waveguide

In this paper, a compact diplexer using substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) resonators is introduced. The diplexer consists of two filters and a circulator. The diplexer channels are 4% and 5% relative bandwidth at 32GHz and 33GHz, respectively. The filters are based on SIW resonators, which have higher Q values. This paper also analyzed the factors which affect the Q value of resonators, and describes the designing procedure of Generalized Chebyshev filters, which used in this paper. The circulator also is on account of SIW. It uses inductive windows to increase bandwidth. At last, the paper gives the diplexer's simulation and measure results. And two results are similar with each other.
