Strong coupling between strips due to large mutual capacitance naturally increases the intensity of stored electric energy, resulting in a high effective permittivity for artificial dielectrics and a low resonant frequency for multi-strip resonators. Both features are useful for miniaturization of the resonators made of those principles. Improvement of loss and/or spurious characteristics is attained by a proper choice of metal strip dimension, orientation and intensity. Broad-side coupling is also used for wide range of control of coupling coefficient. By insertion of metal shield between two resonators, the coupling coefficient is controlled from 0.001 to 1.0 (1000 times) without changing the resonator distance. This feature is another means to miniaturize BPFs.","PeriodicalId":257679,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Workshop Series on Art of Miniaturizing RF and Microwave Passive Components","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116168049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The novelty of implementing HMSIW in the case of interconnects is that it can reduce the SIW transverse width by nearly 50%, and has a much wider bandwidth than that of SIW. The HMSIW structure exhibits low loss and leakage when tested at tens of GHz frequency range. Moreover, the near-end and the far-end cross-talks of HMSIW in dense layout are shown to have a better performance than those of microstrip line.
