Resumen
A new design of microwave band pass ¯lter design is presented using metamaterial-inspired Epsilon Near Zero (ENZ) and Mu Near Zero (MNZ) behaviors. These ¯lters are based on waveguide technology. The proposed structure allows us to reduce the number of tunnels normally used for passband ¯lter design by reducing its size. It is also incorporated the half mode concept to the tunnels leading a greater miniaturization. Two Chebyshev ¯lters with two and four- poles were designed, fabricated and measured showing good agreement between simulated and experimental results.
