A novel compact dual-band bandpass waveguide filter is presented in this paper. H-plane metal inserts with complementary split-ring resonators are implemented as resonating elements in the standard (WR-90) rectangular waveguide. Design starts from the models of the waveguide resonators with two resonant frequencies (9[Formula: see text]GHz and 11[Formula: see text]GHz) using a single flat or folded metal insert. Further, folded inserts are used for the second-order dual-band filter design. The equivalent circuits are proposed for the considered waveguide resonators and filter. A good agreement of the amplitude responses obtained for three-dimensional electromagnetic models and microwave circuits is achieved. Finally, compact dual-band bandpass waveguide filter is proposed as a novel solution using miniaturized inverters for both central frequencies. Compact filter model is further modified in order to obtain solution customized for easier fabrication. For the compact filter model, amplitude response is experimentally verified. The required filter response is preserved, as verified by a good agreement of the results obtained for the original dual-band filter and for the compact filter solutions.
