A miniaturized substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) band-pass filter with two transmission zeros is proposed in low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology. The miniaturization of the filter is achieved by vertically stacking three double-folded SIW resonators. To strengthen the coupling between the feeding structure and the resonators, a new meandered microstrip feeding line is introduced. In addition, to realize better out-of-band rejection performance, two short-circuited lines are adopted in the filter design to achieve two transmission zeros outside the passband. To verify the design concept, an X-band LTCC band-pass filter was designed, fabricated, and measured. Both simulation and measurement results indicate that the proposed filter has good frequency response, high selectivity, and a size reduction of about 87% in comparison with conventional planar direct-coupled waveguide filter.
