A Comparison Between Applied Square and Ring CSRR on SIW Using the HOM Method

Sammanfattning: The rise of connected devices and the internet of things has increased the need for systems capable of transmitting high frequency signals wirelessly. An important part of these systems are the filters. Filters remove signals within unwanted frequency ranges. These filters can be implemented using e.g. periodic structures. In this article, we present a design for such a filter that aims to have a stopband between 3-6 [GHz] using square complementary split ring resonators (CSRR) on a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW). The design is based on a dimensional parametric study. An alternative design based on circular CSRR's is also presented and discussed. The design is validated using a commercially available software and a novel method simulating higher order of modes (HOM). The novel simulation method is shown to be advantageous due to its ability to evaluate the attenuation coefficient of a periodic filter. Additionally, a quadratic CSRR structure was shown to have a larger stopband and a similar attenuation coefficient when compared to circular CSRR structure when applied on a SIW. Furthermore, an impedance matching structure for the both CSRR filters were designed and both filters were simulated.
