Abstract By using high‐permittivity dielectrics, bandpass filters can be miniaturized. A hairpin‐line filter based on high‐permittivity dielectrics is proposed in this study. Ba 2 Ti 9 O 20 , with high dielectric constant, low loss, and stable temperature is available for the dielectric resonator and is adopted as a material in the fabrication of high‐permittivity ceramic substrates. A tape‐casting technique is employed to produce thin and flat Ba 2 Ti 9 O 20 ‐based ceramic substrates. The center frequency of the fabricated bandpass filter is 5.75 GHz and the bandwidth is 742 MHz. The measured insertion and return losses of the filter are −1.34 and −12 dB, respectively. The measured response of the fabricated filter is in agreement with the simulated results. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
