Practical considerations in the design of monoblock TM dielectric resonator filters with additive manufacturing

This paper describes the practical aspects involved in the development of TM dielectric resonator filters in a single block made out of ceramic material. In order to manufacture these structures, the additive manufacturing technique known as Lithography-based Ceramic Manufacturing (LCM) has been employed. To demonstrate the feasibility of this approach, a simple prototype has been manufactured and measured.
