This paper presents a novel design of a highly-miniaturized dual-mode bandpass filter (BPF) employing a quarter-mode substrate integrated waveguide (QMSIW). The QMSIW resonator is based on a square cavity with metallic vias along two sides, and open-ended edges at the remaining sides that contain orthogonal feed lines. An open slot is introduced along the two sides of the square cavity with metallic vias to form a magnetic wall. A single metallic via is assigned at the corner of the two open-edged sides to form an electrical wall, which produces different resonances. By loading a slot diagonally, the mode frequencies can be controlled independently, which allows us to realize a second-order BPF. The detailed design steps and a flowchart explaining the filter’s topology evolution are presented. The eigen-mode analysis, field distributions, coupling matrix, and full-wave simulation of the proposed QMSIW filter topology are used to determine the filter’s operating principle. To verify the proposed theory, a second-order BPF is realized, fabricated, and demonstrated experimentally. The BPF prototype exhibits excellent performance such as a small footprint of 0.019λ2, a wide passband of 34.8-percent, low insertion loss of 0.43 dB, and a wide stopband of 3.36f0 with a rejection level greater than 20 dB. Excellent consistency is found between the EM-simulated and measured responses of the device.
