Miniaturization of microwave resonant particles by the utilization of embedded high dielectric constant paste

This paper describes the benefits of embedded high dielectric constant paste utilization in the design of miniaturized resonant particles. The resulting miniaturized designs are compared with the Split Ring Resonator particles pointing out an increment on the quality and coupling coefficient of the proposed resonant particles and a major miniaturization factor. As illustrative example of the benefits of the proposed particles, a 3
^rd
order Chebyshev coupling coefficient based filter using these particles is discussed comparing measurement and simulated response.
