The idea of loading the waveguide filter resonators with ceramic TEM blocks and ceramic ridge blocks are presented. Resonator loading with silver plated transverse electromagnetic (TEM) hole and silver plated ridge ceramic blocks offers wide spurious free bandwidth 2.45 times of center frequency. Simulated and measured results of six pole chebyshev Ceramic ridge loaded filter and simulated results of Ceramic TEM loaded filter are presented in this paper showing excellent out-of-band performance. © 2013 IEEE. date: 2020 publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85087392160&doi=10.1109%2fACCESS.2020.3000709&partnerID=40&md5=6080f5c37020507327306fde752def8b id_number: 10.1109/ACCESS.2020.3000709 full_text_status: none publication: IEEE Access volume: 8 pagerange: 109309-109314 refereed: TRUE issn: 21693536 citation: Afridi, S. and Ahmed, U. and Gilal, A.R. and Jaafar, J. and Aziz, I.A. and Sandhu, M.Y.
