Gap waveguide topology with reduced height pins for millimeter-wave components
(URSI Publications, 2022) Santiago Arriazu, David; Gómez Laso, Miguel Ángel; Lopetegui Beregaña, José María; Arregui Padilla, Iván; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren
A new topology for groove gap waveguide (GGW) technology is proposed to ease its manufacturing process by computer numerical control (CNC) milling. GGW technology consists of two metal plates, where one of them presents a λ/4 height pin bed that avoids contact with the other plate, making it an ideal alternative to other waveguides for millimeterwave applications. However, the manufacture of the pins by CNC milling may be troublesome due to the large pin height required. A GGW with reduced height pins will be proposed, maintaining the standard dimensions of the equivalent rectangular waveguide ports and the operation bandwidth. The performance of this new topology will be compared with other proposals by means of simulations and measurements, and a bandpass filter will be also implemented and manufactured in this technology to validate its usefulness.

Filtro paso banda en tecnología groove gap waveguide con altura de pines reducida para facilitar su fabricación
(Universidad de Málaga, 2022) Santiago Arriazu, David; Gómez Laso, Miguel Ángel; Lopetegui Beregaña, José María; Arregui Padilla, Iván; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren
In this work, a novel topology of groove gap waveguide (GGW) technology is presented to facilitate the fabrication process by Computer Numerical Control (CNC) milling. GGW has been proposed as an interesting alternative to the rectangular waveguide for the design of microwave and millimeter-wave components. This technology consists of two parallel metal plates, where one of them has a (lambda)/4-height pin bed that provides a high impedance condition at the plane over the pins, avoiding electrical contact requirement with the upper plate and hence facilitating the fabrication requirements. However, the manufacture by CNC milling of the pins may be troublesome, especially for devices operating at high frequency. A way to facilitate this process is achieved by using pins with reduced height. Moreover, the proposed configuration allows us to maintain the standard dimension ports of the equivalent rectangular waveguide and the operation in its corresponding bandwidth. A comparison with other GGW topologies has been presented and a bandpass filter has been fabricated to validate its usefulness.

(Springer, 2022) Santiago Arriazu, David; Tamayo-Domínguez, Adrián; Gómez Laso, Miguel Ángel; Lopetegui Beregaña, José María; Fernández-González, José Manuel; Martínez, Ramón; Arregui Padilla, Iván; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
In this paper, a W-band 3D-printed bandpass filter is proposed. The use of higher-order TE10n modes in groove gap waveguide (GGW) technology is evaluated in order to alleviate the manufacturing requirements. In addition to the use of higher-order modes, the coupling between them is analyzed in detail to improve the overall fabrication robustness of the component. This allows the implementation of narrow-band filters operating at millimeter-wave frequency bands (or above), which usually demand complex manufacturing techniques to provide the high accuracy required for this kind of devices. In order to show the applicability of the proposed method, a narrow-band 5th-order Chebyshev bandpass filter centered at 94 GHz, which can be easily fabricated by state-of-the-art stereolithographic (SLA) 3D-printing techniques followed by silver coating, is shown. Excellent measured performance has been obtained.

(IEEE, 2024) Santiago Arriazu, David; Fang, Mu; Zaman, Ashraf Uz; Gómez Laso, Miguel Ángel; Lopetegui Beregaña, José María; Arregui Padilla, Iván; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoa eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC
This letter proposes a new design approach for filtering antennas. The novel matching reflection coefficient based method allows the integration of filters and antennas without compromising the frequency behavior of either of these components. Moreover, this integration is done avoiding the need of lengthy optimization processes and provides a high degree of flexibility in the types of antennas that can be used. In order to validate it, two examples are provided. In both cases, a 4 th -order Chebyshev bandpass filter at 101.5 GHz implemented in stacked groove gap waveguide (GGW) configuration is used, firstly along with a single aperture antenna and, subsequently, with a slotted ridge gap waveguide (RGW) array. This second example has been manufactured to demonstrate the usefulness of the new design methodology. Excellent measured performance has been obtained for a filtering antenna at W-band for the first time.

Robust and flexible design for effective low-pass filters exploiting a passband replica
(IEEE, 2024) Santiago Arriazu, David; Gómez Laso, Miguel Ángel; Lopetegui Beregaña, José María; Arregui Padilla, Iván; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoa eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC
In this paper, a design approach for effective low-pass filters (LPF) that use the Rth-passband replica of the stepped-impedance prototype response is presented. Traditional LPF design methods often rely on well-established techniques, but they may not always deliver the desired performance or flexibility. By incorporating the Rth-passband replica of the stepped-impedance prototype, we introduce a new perspective that opens up new possibilities in filter design. This approach has the potential to overcome some of the limitations associated with existing methods, offering improved filter performance, robustness, and novel design possibilities and flexibility. Additionally, we will showcase its practical application by designing, fabricating, and measuring a 5th-order gap waveguide LPF that employs the first replica as per the provided guidelines.

A 3D-printed bandpass filter for the W-band is proposed in this work. The use of the higher-order TE10n modes in groove gap waveguide (GGW) technology is analyzed and shown to ease the manufacturing requirements. The design example is a 5th-order Chebyshev filter at 94 GHz, which is easily fabricated by stereolithographic (SLA) 3D-printing (an additive manufacturing technique). The filter is silver coated once it is printed. Excellent measured performance is reported. The combination of higher-order modes, GGW technology and SLA 3D-printing seems to be a promising way of fabricating filters in W-band for high-capacity high data-rate communication systems.

Novel design method for millimeter-wave gap waveguide low-pass filters using advanced manufacturing techniques
(IEEE, 2023) Santiago Arriazu, David; Gómez Laso, Miguel Ángel; Lopetegui Beregaña, José María; Arregui Padilla, Iván; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren
In this paper, a groove gap waveguide (GGW) low-pass filter is proposed for the first time. Gap waveguide technology represents an interesting alternative as a low-loss, cost-effective, high- performance transmission line and packaging solution for microwave and millimeter-wave systems. This technology may exhibit a frequency behavior similar to rectangular waveguide but with some advantages such as the no need of electrical contact between the upper and lower plates of the GGW, making it an attractive alternative in the design of satellite devices at high frequencies. However, all the previous literature focused on band-pass filters, while design methods for GGW low-pass filters have not been reported. Furthermore, in this paper a new manufacturing approach is proposed and its performance has been compared with traditional methods such as Computer Numerical Control (CNC) milling. The new approach relies on the Selective Laser Melting (SLM)-3D printing of the filter followed by a post-processing step, in which it is partially mechanized using CNC milling to improve the surface finish. Measurements of the manufactured prototypes are also included to compare both techniques at millimeter-waves, showing the advantages of the new fabrication method and the excellent agreement with the simulations.

(IEEE, 2025-05-15) Garcia-Martinez, Sergio (0000-0002-2427-8264); Santiago Arriazu, David; Tamayo-Domínguez, Adrián; Sánchez-Olivares, Pablo; Arregui Padilla, Iván; Lopetegui Beregaña, José María; Gómez Laso, Miguel Ángel; Fernández-González, José Manuel; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoa eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC
This article presents the design and experimental validation of a W-band waveguide cavity filter operating around 91 GHz, using a periodic electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structure with glide symmetry to implement the filter in a stack of multiple thin metallic sheets without electric contact between them. The filter is based on vertically stacked cavities that use the TE103 mode, which offers increased robustness to manufacturing and assembly errors due to the large dimensions of the cavity. The glide-symmetric circular hole EBG structure is analyzed and integrated to suppress unwanted field leakage between the metallic layers with a broad stopband. The proposed filter maintains effective operation in the 88–94-GHz frequency range, even with gap variations between layers of up to 20 µm. The filter is fabricated using laser cutting, achieving a low surface roughness and high dimensional accuracy. Experimental measurements show excellent agreement with the simulations, with a return loss greater than 20 dB and an insertion loss below 0.5 dB. These results demonstrate the possibility to achieve high performance filters at millimeter-wave frequencies while maintaining low fabrication complexity and cost using the multilayer waveguide technology.

(Elsevier, 2025-03-01) Segura-Gómez, Cleofás; Biedma-Pérez, Andrés; Santiago Arriazu, David; Palomares-Caballero, Ángel; Arregui Padilla, Iván; Gómez Laso, Miguel Ángel; Padilla, Pablo; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoa eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC
This work presents the design of a cavity-stacked bandpass filter (BPF) using contactless air-filled substrate integrated waveguide (CLAF-SIW) technology for millimeter-wave frequencies. This technology is a variant of air-filled SIW technology, incorporating contactless techniques. It enables the reduction of dielectric losses in SIW filters while supporting multilayer structures with robust assembly. The cavity-stacked filter topology allows for very good frequency responses with a reduced footprint and no transitions needed. As an example, a 4th-order Chebyshev bandpass filter composed of four stacked cavities, coupled through irises, is shown. The iris layers are fabricated by metallizing the slot edges of a PCB, while the cavity layers are implemented using CLAF-SIW. The filter has been designed and manufactured to provide a passband response from 36 GHz to 37.5 GHz. A good agreement between measurement and simulation has been achieved. The losses in the proposed CLAF-SIW filter are primarily due to the metal roughness of the low-cost commercial laminates used.
