ABSTRACT This article presents a novel approach to extract the coupling matrix (CM) of a lossy cross‐coupled resonator bandpass filter with source–load coupling using admittance parameters (also known as Y ‐parameters). The Y ‐parameters are calculated by characteristic polynomials corresponding to the measured S ‐parameters. The unloaded quality factor of resonators and the CM can be extracted from the Y ‐parameters. The method allows one to diagnose a filter with source–load coupling without necessity of dealing with the degenerate poles problem of the Y ‐parameters and the measurement noise. The proposed diagnosis method can be used in a filter tuning and speeds up its physical realization. The method is verified by a fabricated fourth‐order bandpass filter and a simulated substrate integrated waveguide dual‐mode filter with source–load couplings. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
