A technique is introduced for designing band‐stop waveguide filters by optimizing a grid of metallic pixels on a dielectric sheet placed longitudinal to the waveguide axis. By using topology optimization and a genetic algorithm, compact broadband waveguide filters may be produced that are easy to fabricate at low cost. Measured and simulated performance show strong rejection in the stopband with a rapid roll off at the band edges and low insertion loss outside the stopband. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
