Abstract

In this paper, we present a design of a non-radiative dielectric waveguide band pass filter based on hybrid architecture of micro-strip line and non-radiative dielectric waveguide. The simulation with high frequency structure simulator (HFSS) three dimensional analyses are presented, also the influence of the feeding transitions for circuit design is studied. The aim of this work was to study the influence of the width of the NRD waveguide to scattering parameters.
