This analysis method is easy to program and is helpful for engineering design. Finally, a Ka-band bimetallic diaphragm waveguide filter is designed. The test results are in good agreement with the theoretical analysis. Keywords E-plane metal diaphragm waveguide filter, high stopband characteristic filter, complex power conservation technique. I. Introduction Since the E-plane structure waveguide filter was proposed by Konishi [2] in 1974, it has become a widely used filter form in the millimeter wave band after a long period of development. However, the stopband characteristics of this structure filter are not satisfactory and it is difficult to obtain steep out-of-band characteristics. In order to effectively improve the stopband characteristics F. Arndt et al. [3] first proposed the E-plane bimetallic diaphragm structure in 1984. This structure has good out-of-band characteristics and good rectangular characteristics. Based on the mode matching method, this paper takes into account the correction of the electric wall conditions at the end of the diaphragm [1]. A comprehensive analysis of the E-plane bimetallic diaphragm structure is made, and a simple calculation formula is given. Finally, a Ka-band E-plane waveguide filter with high stopband characteristics is designed. The test results are in good agreement with the analysis results. 2. Theoretical Analysis of E-plane Bimetallic Diaphragm Structure The structure of the E-plane bimetallic diaphragm filter is shown in Figure 1. Two metal diaphragms parallel to the surface are inserted equidistantly on the surface of the rectangular waveguide to form a part of the metal sheet. A certain length is dug out at intervals. The two metal sheets have exactly the same structure. The corresponding diaphragm end faces are on the same plane. The diaphragm plays a coupling role, and the adjacent diaphragms form a resonant cavity. The basic structure and size of the E-plane bimetallic diaphragm waveguide are shown in Figure 2. It can be equivalent to the T-shaped network shown in Figure 3. Figure 1. Bimetallic diaphragm waveguide filter and its diaphragm structure. Due to the diaphragm about T0...
