Half Wavelength Double-ridged Half Height Rectangular Waveguide Resonator

This paper presents a novel concept of half wavelength doubleridged half height rectangular waveguide resonator. The basic design consists of a double-ridged rectangular waveguide placed between two rectangular waveguide WR2300. The resonance frequency, bandwidth, Q factor etc. can be controlled by varying the ridge parameters such as ridge length, width, height, ridge gap width, ridge gap height etc. by keeping the other parameters constant. Modeling and analysis have been carried out using High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS). Simulation results are obtained which are useful for microwave components and systems.
