A triadic Cantor fractal multi-layer is a stack of two different dielectric materials whose thicknesses are determined according to the triadic Cantor fractal scheme. When inserted in a rectangular waveguide, the spectral response of a triadic Cantor multi-layer can be tailored to feature a narrow single transmission peak in the waveguide single-mode frequency range, with a low insertion loss and a high rejection level of forbidden frequencies. The experimental characterization of alumina-polystyrene and plexiglass-polystyrene Cantor multi-layers inserted in a WR90 waveguide (Hewlett-Packard, USA) matches thoroughly with the results of the theoretical modeling and demonstrates that triadic Cantor multi-layers can be used to realize feasible narrow-band microwave filters.

Abstract

A triadic Cantor fractal multi-layer is a stack of two different dielectric materials whose thicknesses are determined according to the triadic Cantor fractal scheme. When inserted in a rectangular waveguide, the spectral response of a triadic Cantor multi-layer can be tailored to feature a narrow single transmission peak in the waveguide single-mode frequency range, with a low insertion loss and a high rejection level of forbidden frequencies. The experimental characterization of alumina-polystyrene and plexiglass-polystyrene Cantor multi-layers inserted in a WR90 waveguide (Hewlett-Packard, USA) matches thoroughly with the results of the theoretical modeling and demonstrates that triadic Cantor multi-layers can be used to realize feasible narrow-band microwave filters.
