    (2022) Sami, Abdul; Teberio Berdún, Fernando; Arnedo Gil, Israel; Martín Iglesias, Petronilo; Lopetegui Beregaña, José María; Gómez Laso, Miguel Ángel; Arregui Padilla, Iván; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación
    In this work, a very compact rectangular waveguide low-pass filter with meandered topology based on commensurate lines for Ku-band satellite applications is analysed for high-power handling capabilities. The device consists of rectangular waveguide sections properly cascaded to form a meandered topology to obtain the desired value of the local reflection coefficients. which are essential to achieve the target frequency response and also to keep large mechanical gaps. Hence, this technique allows us not only to design a filter with compact size but a filter geometry which is suitable for high power applications. In the paper, the low-pass filter based on commensurate lines is first designed by cascading E-plane mitered bends (±90° EMBs) in CST Microwave Studio (MWS) and then the values of the electromagnetic fields at the passband frequencies are exported to Spark3D to perform a multipactor analysis. The critical areas inside the device where the multipactor discharge occurs will also be identified in the high-power analysis. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7343236

    Integrating multiple stubs in stepped-impedance filter aiming for high selectivity
    (IET, 2022) Sami, Abdul; Gómez Laso, Miguel Ángel; Lopetegui Beregaña, José María; Arnedo Gil, Israel; Calero Fernández, Ibai; Teberio Berdún, Fernando; Martín Iglesias, Petronilo; Benito Pertusa, David; Arregui Padilla, Iván; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación
    A design technique to include multiple and fully-controlled transmission zeros (TZs) in the frequency response of rectangular waveguide commensurate-line stepped-impedance filters is presented in this letter. These bandpass filters (BPFs) are known for having reduced sensitivities against manufacturing inaccuracies and are composed of multiple waveguide sections. In order to improve their selectivity, 3λg/4 and λg/4-stubs are included to create multiple TZs around the passband. The proposed technique allows us to add multiple stubs in a single section and, therefore, only minor adjustments in the affected part of the filter are required, which simplifies the overall design process. The technique has been verified with a design example with four TZs (two on each side) near the passband.

    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.

    Diseño robusto de filtros paso-banda de banda W en tecnología Gap Waveguide impresos en 3D
    (URSI, 2023) Santiago Arriazu, David; Tamayo-Domínguez, Adrián; Gómez Laso, Miguel Ángel; Lopetegui Beregaña, José María; Fernández-González, José Manuel; Martínez, Ramón; Arregui Padilla, Iván; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren
    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.

    High-yield waveguide diplexer for low-cost E-band 5G point-to-point radio links
    (IEEE, 2022) Teberio Berdún, Fernando; Calero Fernández, Ibai; Arregui Padilla, Iván; Martín Iglesias, Petronilo; Teniente Vallinas, Jorge; Gómez Laso, Miguel Ángel; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación
    This paper presents the design and realization of a high-yield tuning-less waveguide diplexer and a high-gain lens horn antenna for 5G point-to-point fixed-beam communications at the frequency ranges of 71/76 GHz and 81/86 GHz (E-band). The diplexer is composed of two bandpass filters based on the combination of a low-pass filtering function and a high-pass structure. The diplexer provides very relaxed fabrication tolerances. A prototype has been fabricated and measured showing return loss better than 20 dB and attenuation levels higher than 60 dB. The insertion loss is better than 1 dB. A lens horn antenna which provides more than 38 dBi gain is utilized to provide high directivity at the same frequencies. The proposed sub-system combines the advantages of high-performance and simple mechanical assembly finding, it especially attractive for 5G applications due to the reduced fabrication cost.

    Compact harmonic rejection filter for C-band high-power satellite applications
    (IEEE, 2020) Teberio Berdún, Fernando; Martín Iglesias, Petronilo; Arregui Padilla, Iván; Arnedo Gil, Israel; Lopetegui Beregaña, José María; Gómez Laso, Miguel Ángel; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren
    A compact high-power low-pass filter for C-band broadband satellite applications is presented in this paper. The filter is composed of three different sections. A 9th-order compact high-power multi-ridge structure achieves the fundamental mode stopband and the suppression of all-higher order modes. The required slope between the pass- and the stopband is accomplished by means of two step-shaped bandstop elements separated by very short waveguide sections. The passband of the filter is achieved through two compact matching networks. The filter is only 164-mm long, has less than 0.05 dB of insertion loss, handles 9.6 kW (single-carrier multipactor analysis), and has a very wide stopband (up to Ku-band). A dramatic size reduction has been achieved with respect to other commercially available solutions.

    In this paper, we introduce an innovative approach for determining the complex permittivity (ε) and permeability (𝜇)) of magnetodielectric composites. Our methodology uses artificial neural network (ANN) modeling to determine these key parameters from S-parameter data collected at 2.45 GHz. These measurements are performed by a novel microstrip split ring resonator (SRR)-based resonant sensor, offering enhanced precision and reliability in the estimation process.

    Mapping smooth profile H-plane rectangular waveguide structures to substrate integrated waveguide technology
    (Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2014) Díaz Caballero, E.; Urrea Micó, Verónica; Chudzik, Magdalena; Arregui Padilla, Iván; Arnedo Gil, Israel; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
    The guidelines for mapping rectangular waveguide structures to substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology are well understood for structures with straight walls. However, the mapping of a smooth profile structure from rectangular waveguide to SIW technology is not trivial and it needs to be carefully studied. A general procedure for mapping any smooth profile H -plane rectangular waveguide structure to SIW technology is proposed. A practical example is also provided and experimentally validated.

    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.
