Abstract

In this paper, the substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) resonator is designed to study the influence of dielectric materials on its operating parameters (insertion loss, fractional bandwidth and unloaded Q-factor). The results obtained show that the use of high permittivity substrate in the SIW resonator by increasing its thickness allows reducing the size of resonator by causing the increase in its unloaded Q-factor. A SIW bandpass filter is designed using low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology and high permittivity substrate. The filter has a fractional bandwidth of 27 % centered at 14.32 GHz with insertion loss of 0.7 dB.
