Rigorous design of compact high-performance 3-D microstrip filters using inverse scattering

In this letter, a novel design method for 3-D microstrip filters is proposed. The method is valid for any all-pole transfer function and employs an inverse scattering synthesis technique to generate a smooth characteristic impedance profile that is implemented by smoothly varying the substrate heigh...
