To illustrate the double resonance mechanism another resonator (Figure 9), consisting of the resonating slot (slot 1) and one of the asymmetric slots (slot 2 / slot 3), has been simulated. The frequency responses are show in Figure 10, which can be explained as follows. In Figure 9 (a) slot 2 behaves as an inductor throughout the band whereas the resonator slot (slot 1) behaves as an inductor below the transmission pole and capacitor above the transmission pole. Therefore below the transmission pole the
equivalent circuit of Figure 9 (a) behaves as a series combination of two inductors and no resonance (hence TZ) occurs. However, above the transmission pole, it becomes a series LC resonator and a TZ is observed. Figure 10 (b) can be similarly explained. However for this case slot 3 behaves as a capacitor. Therefore the equivalent circuit of Figure 9 (b) is a series LC network below the transmission pole and a series combination of two capacitors above the transmission poles. Thus we get a TZ below the transmission pole and no TZ above the transmission pole. In summary it can be said that if the asymmetric slot length is shorter than the resonating slot, TZ will be placed at upper side (or above the centre frequency), and if the asymmetric slot dimension is longer than the resonating slot, TZ will be placed at lower side (or below the centre frequency).

2. Third Order Bandpass Filter with Multiple Transmission Zeros
The proposed third order bandpass filter has been designed by placing three asymmetric slot loaded resonators on the transverse plane of a WR-90 waveguide, as shown in Figure 14 (a). The dimensions of the slots are tabulated in Table I. The resonators have been placed at a distance (l) 9.2 mm. In the figure “h+c” is the thickness of the dielectric substrate and copper (0.797mm). To analyze the coupling between resonators and its effect on the frequency response of the filter, parametric analysis of the structure is carried out with different value of “l”. The result shown in Figure 15. The parametric analysis reveals that an acceptable frequency response can be achieved for l=9.2 mm. The equivalent circuit of the filter is shown in Figure 14 (b). The values of lumped elements of Figure 14 (b) have been tabulated in Table II. Comparison of the frequency responses of the circuit model (Figure 14 (b)) and waveguide model (Figure 14 (a)) is shown in Figure 16. The results are in close agreement.

4. Fabrication and Measurement
Based on the above analysis, the proposed filter has been fabricated and measured within the X–band frequency range using Keysoft PNA network analyzer (Model: N5221A). Keysight 85520A calibration kit is used to calibrate the VNA before taking
Manuscript
measurement with standard calibration procedure. Initially the slot resonators and WR– Accepted90 waveguide were fabricated separately. Then the resonators were manually placed inside the waveguide, to construct the filter. The experimental set up for the
measurement of scattering parameters is shown in Figure 17 and fabricated front view and side view are shown in Figure 18. The comparison between the simulated and measured frequency responses is shown in Figure 19 (a), which shows a good agreement between them. The magnified view of the passband insertion loss is shown in Figure 19 (b). The measured results shows centre frequency 9.98 GHz, lower cut-off frequency 9.49 GHz, higher cut-off frequency 10.51 GHz, fractional bandwidth of 10.27 % and insertion loss 1 dB. The measured TZs are located at 8.23, 8.70, 9.16, 10.9, 11.6 and 13.115 GHz. The slight difference between the simulated and measured result are due to the losses in waveguide to coaxial adaptor and fabrication tolerances.

A comparison between the proposed and some of the reported waveguide filters is summarized in Table III, whereas the comparison of simulated and measured filter characteristics is provided in Table IV. Table III reveals that the proposed filter has higher bandwidth than [1, 22, 23], better return loss than [1, 3, 4], better insertion loss than [22] and compact than [3]. Though some of the properties of the filters presented in
Manuscript(b)
[1 – 4] are better than the proposed filter, they do not have TZs at their stopband. Therefore the passband to stopband transition of the proposed filter is better than those in [1 – 4]. Some properties of the filters presented in [22, 23] are also better than the proposed filter, but their bandwidths are smaller than the proposed filter. At this point it may be noted that the proposed filter allows independent control of centre frequency and TZs, which the other filters do not.

4. Conclusion
This paper presents a simple and efficient way to design a compact waveguide
bandpass filter with multiple stopband TZs using asymmetric slot loaded Accepteddesired locations using simple modifications in the structure. It also provides the flexibility to control the centre frequency and bandwidth as per requirement with
simple modifications in the slot resonator. The controls of the centre frequency, bandwidth and individual TZs are independent of each other. The insertion of the TZs at the desired locations helps to suppress the interference more efficiently and therefore the filter is useful in the microwave systems that are prone to be affected by interfering signals, for example, radar, radio location and radio navigation systems. Detailed design procedures and equivalent circuit models of the proposed filter have been provided and validated.
