Integration of planar circuits been considered a credible technique for low-cost mass production of microwave and millimeter-wave circuits and systems. For the first time, in this research a dual-post band-pass filter is designed and simulated in a three-layer substrate integrated gap groove waveguide (SIGGW) for 5G millimeter-wave frequency band applications. The filter includes 12 posts ([Formula: see text]). Also, the structure facilitates to use resonant posts and so we can design the posts to add a transmission zero in lower rejection band. The design theory algorithm and its limitations are investigated based on the circuit model of filter. The results shows that FBW of 5% and a lower band transmission zero for the proposed 12 posts filter. Also, the results are verified by simulation using CST. According to the results, the proposed filter is a good option for Ka-band applications and can be used as the building block for suppressing the LO leakage that is commonly used for up-converting the 5G signal to Ka band.
