Abstract— In this paper, we present the development of ultrawideband (UWB) inter-digital cavity filters manufactured with an additive technique. We employed a selective laser melting process with stainless steel via a “flipping and fixturing” approach to achieve dimensional accuracy and frequency selectivity (no postfabrication tuning) comparable to that of conventional micromachining. The filters operate at a center frequency of 3.75 GHz and 6 GHz, respectively, with an instantaneous bandwidth of 2 GHz. This paper presents design and fabrication details, a discussion of measured characteristics for both filters, and a performance comparison with respect to subtractively manufactured parts.
