	abstract = {A canonical LTCC ridge waveguide filter for wide-band application is proposed. A new coupling scheme is employed to achieve the values of the cross couplings needed to increase the bandwidth. The change of the realization of the coupling sections from rectangular to narrow ridge waveguide is shown to eliminate detrimental undesired cross coupling. To validate the concept, rigorous mode matching method is used for full-wave analysis and optimization of a six pole filter. The response is verified with another numerical method, and a prototype is constructed for testing.},
