Abstract

In this paper, a compact and reconfigurable rectangular substrate integrated waveguide structure dual-mode configuration based dual-band band-pass filter has been presented for 5G communication and milli-meter-waves. The dual-band bandpass filter is realized by utilizing the two pairs of dumbbell-shaped defected ground structure. The dumbbell-shaped defected ground structures etched on both the ground and the top side of the cavity have been used to produce transmission zeros, minimize the circuit size, and enhance the passband characteristics at a particular frequency of operations. In an effort to demonstrate the proposed dual-band substrate integrated waveguide band-pass filter, the proposed configuration has been designed and fabricated at the 28.3 GHz and 38.5 GHz frequency using low-cost PCB technique. The centre frequency of the second pass-band has been easily tuned using the geometrical parameters of the filter to achieve the desired applications in the 5G frequency band. Furthermore, the measured in-band return loss (rejection attenuation) of the two bands is approximately better than 26 dB and 28 dB respectively. The insertion loss of not more than 01 dB for both bands of the filter has been achieved. This dual-band filter operating at the licensed frequencies for the 5G spectrum bands renders this filter appropriate for numerous 5G and millimeter-wave communication applications.
