Abstract

It is provided a waveguide E-plane band-pass filter comprising a tubular, electrically conductive waveguide body. An electrically conductive foil is arranged in the waveguide body and extending along a longitudinal direction of the waveguide body, the foil comprising a plurality of resonator openings. Furthermore, the waveguide body comprises at least one ridge protruding from an inner wall of the waveguide body and extending longitudinally along the longitudinal direction of the waveguide body. The foil is in mechanical contact with said at least one ridge and arranged to divide an inner volume of the waveguide body into two portions. It is also provided a diplexer, a radio transceiver, and a method for filtering a signal using such a filter.
