Summary: 
A miniaturized rectangular resonator made of a novel anisotropic artificial dielectric material is investigated which has advantages of small size and big separation of the higher-modes. To obtain a property of anisotropic permittivity, artificial dielectric material is fabricated by lamination of rectangular metal strips etched on a printed circuit board. Artificial dielectric rectangular resonators are designed to excite TE10δ mode selectively, aligning the rectangular metal patterns along the direction of the mode electric field line. The resonant frequencies and coupling coefficient of artificial dielectric rectangular resonators encapsulated in a metal waveguide are analyzed theoretically, and compared with the experimental result. As a microwave application, a high selectivity TE10δ mode bandpass filter (BPF) using two artificial dielectric rectangular resonators is demonstrated. A two-stage BPF with the center frequency of 1.718 GHz, bandwidth of 78 MHz, and insertion loss of 1.3 dB is successfully realized in a rectangular waveguide.
