This paper presents half wavelength partial H-plane filters with multiple attenuation poles using narrow H-plane slot of evanescent waveguide. The narrow H-plane slot operates as an admittance inverter o( the bandpass filter and, simultaneously, generates an attenuation pole at particular frequency. Therefore, proposed filters with attenuation poles are simply implemented without any additional coupling and extra modification of the structure. The number of attenuation poles of the filters equals to that of the H-plane slots. Moreover, proposed filters are compact waveguide filter since ones are embodied by partial H-plane waveguide which has 1/4 cross section of conventional waveguide. The third and fourth-order half wavelength filters having 4 and 5 attenuation poles, respectively, are designed in H-band and their frequency responses are confirmed by simulation and measurement.

An iris-coupled partial H-plane filter as a new type of partial H-plane filter is proposed. The proposed filter can be compared with conventional H-plane filter and uses an iris-type evanescent waveguide as a coupling structure. Filter design technique based on numerical simulation is developed to design and compare the proposed filter and H-plane filter. Designed iris-coupled partial H-plane filter has the same frequency response as that of the conventional H-plane filter while its cross section is one quarter. A good agreement between measurements and theoretical prediction is achieved.

In this paper, a compact partial H-plane filter with periodic structure is proposed. Guided wavelength of periodic structure' is reduced by slow wave effect. Cross-section and length of partial H-plane filter with periodic structure are considerably reduced by 75% and 30%, respectively, as compared with conventional E-plane filter. In addition, spurious responses of the bandpass filter are improved. To design bandpass filter with periodic structure, we have analyzed a periodic structure of partial H-plane waveguide and derived equations of the periodic filter. Measured results are in good agreement with simulated results.
