	abstract = {The design, method of fabrication and experimental validation of a pseudo-elliptical four-poles asymmetric response filter at 100 GHz with 10\% of fractional bandwidth is presented. The designed filter is part of an image radar system and must fulfill stringent specifications. The proposed topology and method of fabrication improves the out of band rejection above the pass band in comparison with other classical structures, while keeping a low insertion loss level. A two-fold geometry for implementing a transmission zero is proposed, avoiding the excitation of the first higher order mode and easing the manufacturing without any tuning element. A low-cost milling process is used for the fabrication of the device. The final design fulfills the desired specifications and presents 0.6 dB of insertion loss level at 100 GHz. The excellent agreement between simulations and measurements at this frequency band in both, return loss and insertion loss, is pointed out.},

	abstract = {The analysis of multi-coupled strip-line filters by the mode-matching method is studied for different input/output excitations. The aim is to compare the computational effort of two different options and to propose the most suitable formulation for the design of some strip-line filters. It is shown that a suitable segmentation of the structure is essential for obtaining good numerical results. In fact, if the optimum segmentation is selected, a mode-matching analysis using only TEM modes can resemble the full-wave response, with shorter computation time. Hence, this approach can be very useful in design and different examples are shown to validate it, using other numerical methods and measurements of a ten order filter.},

	abstract = {In this article, a systematic design procedure for the design of self-equalised elliptic filters in H-plane configuration is presented. Such a configuration in tends to be an alternative to the classical dual-mode circular waveguide configuration in Ka band, with the aim in mind of reducing cost and computation time. In order to decrease the insertion loss the TE105 will be used. A sixth order filter with two transmission zeros at finite real frequencies and two zeros for equalisation has been designed, manufactured and measured. The results make clear the validity of the proposed configuration},
