Design of hairpin band pass filters for K-Band application

Abstract

This paper presents Chebyshev three and four poles microstrip hairpin filter for radar applications. The filters are operated at K-band frequency segment of 20-20.3 GHz. The filters were designed using Genesys software and implemented on Roger 5870 substrate. The results from simulation and measurement show that both filters were operating at the desired specification. Based on the experimental analysis, it was observed that the filter with four elements better than the three which was quite agree to other researchers.
