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.}, keywords = {Asymmetric, band-pass filters, elliptic filters, extracted pole, Fabrication, fabrication method, filter, filtering theory, fractional bandwidth, frequency 100 GHz, higher order mode, image radar system, Insertion loss, loss 0.6 dB, Loss measurement, low insertion loss level, low loss, low-cost milling process, low-loss elliptical response filter, microwave filters, millimetre wave filters, Milling, out of band rejection, pseudo-elliptical four-poles asymmetric response filter, Radar, return loss, transmission zero, two-fold geometry, W-band}, issn = {1531-1309}, doi = {10.1109/LMWC.2012.2212237}, url = {http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=6268297\&tag=1}, author = {C A Leal-Sevillano and Montejo-Garai, J R and J A Ruiz-Cruz and Rebollar, J M} } @conference {06_EuMC_Montejo-GaraiRuiz-CruzRebollarEtAl_DesignofSelf-Equalised, title = {Design of Self-Equalised Elliptic Filter Channels in Ka-Band Implemented in Rectangular H-Plane Waveguide}, booktitle = {Proc. 36th European Microwave Conference}, year = {2006}, month = {Sept.}, pages = {1087-1090}, abstract = {In this article, a systematic design procedure for the design of self-equalised elliptic filters in H-plane configuration is presented.
