This Letter proposes a balanced dual‐mode substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) filter for the first time. Based on dual‐mode square SIW cavities, perturbation vias, and balanced ports, the quasi‐elliptic differential mode response with improved selectivity as well as high‐performance common mode suppression can be obtained conveniently. Resonator number decrease and compact size can also be available. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This Letter proposes a balanced hybrid substrate‐integrated waveguide (SIW)–coplanar waveguide (CPW) bandpass filter, which combines a hybrid SIW–CPW filter and a balanced structure for the first time. High performance common mode suppression can be achieved with high quality factor, compact size, and quasi‐elliptic differential mode response. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A novel technique to design substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) resonator with harmonic suppression is proposed. The spurious band arising from the harmonics is designed as well as the fundamental passband. The bandwidth of the spurious band is designed to be zero to realise harmonic suppression. At the same time, the fundamental properties of the SIW are almost not affected, and no additional circuit area is required. The harmonic suppression and the fundamental passband can be designed independently of each other. An SIW resonator with harmonic suppression and an SIW filter with wide stopband are fabricated and measured to verify the proposed technique. The results agree with expectation well.
