The scope of this project presented analyze, simulation, fabricate for the MM-wave hairpin filter. Hairpin filter is one of the most popular microwave frequency filter because it is compact and does not required grounding. The design of the filter is to operate at 60 GHz of center frequency with 5% of the bandwidth which is at 58.5 GHz and 61.5 GHz frequency band respectively. This frequency band fall under the MM-wave which is ranging from 30 to 300 GHz. To design hairpin filter, a few steps are considered which including determine the order of the filter, transformation from low pass filter to band pass filter and calculation of the width, length and the spacing between the resonators. All the simulation were doing with Advance Design System (ADS) software. The Rogers RO5880 substrate with dielectric constant 2.2 and 787 um thickness of the substrate will be used to fabricate by using etching technique.
