description This work presents the design of a novel fully canonical triple-mode filter with source–load coupling for 5G applications, exploiting its very compact size for the FR1 band. The design is carried out using circular waveguide technology to attain power handling and low insertion losses. The fully canonical topology allows for increasing the selectivity of the filter since the number of finite transmission zeros is equal to the order of the filter. Given that this topology needs a source–load coupling level that is not possible to achieve with the classical iris ports, coaxial probes are used as input–output ports. A systematic procedure is developed to obtain the initial geometry before the full-wave optimization. The proof of concept is verified by a manufactured prototype at 3.7 GHz with 1.1% relative bandwidth for high coverage of 5G base stations. The results show an excellent agreement between the simulation and the measurement, validating the triple-mode filter and its underlying design process.
