Resumen:This work presents a comprehensive technological study of dielectric resonator-based microstrip filters (DRMFs), encompassing the design, fabrication, and rigorous characterization of the <inline-formula>TE01δ</inline-formula> mode. Through systematic coupling analysis, we demonstrate filters featuring novel input–output coupling techniques and innovative implementations of both transmission zeros (4-2-0 configuration) and equalization zeros (4-0-2 configuration), specifically designed for demanding space and radar receiver applications, while the loaded quality factor (<inline-formula>QL</inline-formula>) and insertion loss do not match those of dielectric resonator cavity filters (DRCFs), our solution significantly surpasses conventional microstrip filters (MFs), achieving <inline-formula>QL</inline-formula>> 3000 compared to typical <inline-formula>QL</inline-formula>≈ 200 for coupled-line MFs in X-band. The fabricated filters exhibit exceptional performance as follows: input reflection (<inline-formula>S11</inline-formula>) below −18 dB (4-2-0) and −16.5 dB (4-0-2), flat transmission response (<inline-formula>S21</inline-formula>), and out-of-band rejection exceeding −30 dB. Mechanical tuning enables precise control of input–output coupling, inter-resonator coupling, cross-coupling, and frequency synthesis, while equalization zeros provide tailored group delay characteristics. This study positions DRMFs as a viable intermediate technology for high-performance RF systems, bridging the gap between conventional solutions.
