| Abstract: | This article presents a very efficient technique for the design of filters in substrate‐integrated waveguide (SIW) technology. The proposed design approach is based on the combined use of equivalent circuit models of SIW discontinuities and a “calibrated” space‐mapping optimization technique. The effectiveness of this design technique is demonstrated through some examples. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE, 2010. |
