摘要

Dual-band filters have become essential front-end modules for modern transceivers and wireless systems. In this work, a sub-THz band dual-band cavity filter is synthesized through linearly coupling three mixed TE301- and TE102-mode cavities. Full high-order mode resonators can feature the high Q-factor and weak error susceptibility, which are strong candidates for high frequency waveguide filter designing. The TE301-mode and TE102-mode can be independently regarded as each operating passband mode for this 3rd-order dual-band filter. In addition, three extra transmission zeros have been generated for improving out-of-band suppression with adopting the singlet concept. The filter prototype fabricated by the CNC technology has achieved 3-dB fractional bandwidths of 3.1% (93.4–96.3 GHz) and 3.5% (99.5–103.1 GHz), and the return losses are both better than − 15 dB. The low insertion losses of − 0.6 dB and − 0.5 dB have been obtained too. The measured results are agreement well with simulations. The performance of this dual-band filter is highlighted comparing with the reported ones.
