Gap waveguide technology is particularly attractive for the design of passive elements in mm-wave systems. Recently, the so-called zero-gap implementation has proved to be very robust to manufacturing tolerances, while at the same time keeping the low loss associated to the contactless standard gap waveguide. In this paper, a Chebyshev filter working at 145 GHz based on this idea and intended to be used in a wireless communication system is designed and optimized. A conventional milling technique has been used in its fabrication, and good measured results have been obtained in a single-pass process.
