Integration is achieved by replacing planar stub elements by resonant vertical interconnect accesses (vias) which serve the functional purpose of a vertical transmission line and therefor add another full degree of freedom in circuit design. The filters shown are comprised of two lowpass filters of 3rd- and 5th-order, and one bandpass filter of 5th-order. The general description of the design is given together with full filter specifications. Full-wave simulations based on the finite element method (FEM) and measurement results are compared to each other and are in excellent agreement.enbandpass filterlow temperature cofired ceramicslowpass filtermultilayered substratevertical integrationviasVertically Integrated Microwave-Filters Using Functional Via Structures in LTCCConference Paper10.23919/EuMC48046.2021.9338027Other
