Abstract:
1. A method of making embedded, coupled, shaped waveguide resonators having conductive walls sandwiched between fired green tape stacks comprising: mounting a first green tape stack on a metal base support substrate; punching openings in said green tape stack to form cavity walls and coupling apertures; forming conductive metal layers over the openings and walls; mounting a second green tape stack over the conductive metal layers with a conductive ground plane layer therebetween, said second green tape having openings therein for insertion of E-plane probes; screen printing microstrip transmission lines on the top surface of the second green tape stack so as to connect them with the inserted E-plane probes; aligning the green tape stacks; and firing the resultant assembly to vitrify the glasses in the green tapes.
