This paper presents a novel miniaturized substrate integrated waveguide filter by combining both half-mode resonators and capacitive loading on a conventional two-layer printed circuit board (PCB) process. The resulting synthesis is successfully demonstrated in an long-term evolution application by means of a third-order filter of <225 mm2in size while featuring 2.3 dB insertion loss over a 5.5% fractional bandwidth at 3.7 GHz. Good first-iteration agreement between simulated and measured results, both in center frequency and bandwidth, are achieved.

ABSTRACT This article presents the long term (1000 h) behaviour of two printed-circuit board materials (Panasonic R1755V, a high-TG glass-epoxy composite and Arlon 85N, a polyimide-based laminate) stored at high temperature (190 °C). Tests are performed in air and in nitrogen atmospheres. Electrical and physical measurements are performed regularly (once per week). Almost no degradation is observed for both materials, when stored in nitrogen. On the contrary, the board stored in air show the consequences of ageing. This is especially true for the glass-epoxy material, which becomes unusable after 2 weeks, because of large swelling.

Este trabajo trata de un arreglo de antenas MIMO (multiple-input-multiple-output) que opera en la banda de 2.6 GHz, una banda de Long Term Evolution (LTE), para sistemas de comunicaciones móviles inalámbricas 4G. El arreglo de antenas consiste de 4 antenas compactas tipo patch sobre un substrato dieléctrico (PCB) de 125 mm x 62.5 mm x 1.27 mm. Modificaciones del plano de tierra (GND) junto con la ubicación sistemática y orientación de cada antena en la cara posterior al plano de tierra del PCB (Printed Circuit Board) juegan un rol muy importante en la reducción sustancial del acoplamiento mutuo, esto generalmente afecta el desempeño de los arreglos MIMO.Palabras clave: Arreglo de antenas, modos característicos, correlación espacial, multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO), acoplamiento mutuo.
