This work presents the design, fabrication and measurements of third-order multilayered filters by additive manufacturing technology. The filters are fabricated using conventional half-wavelength line resonators and a low-cost 3d polylactic acid polymer additive manufacturing process, which allows rapid prototyping and fabrication of complex topologies. The designs, performed at a centre frequency of 2.0 GHz, aim to provide fast manufacturing and get enhanced performances when compared to conventional coupled line third order filters using microstrip technology on commercial substrates. The simulated and measured responses of the fabricated prototypes are in all cases in good agreement.
