In this work, using SRR meta-resonators, a band-stopping waveguide filter (WGF) in C band (4–7.5 GHz) is designed and fabricated by using both CNC milling and SLA methods, and the effect of the fabrication methods on the filter performance is experimentally evaluated. The filter order for each case is increased from 1 to 7 and meta-resonators are used as many as the number of filter degrees. To determine the performance of the WGFs, some results such as frequency response, center frequency, fractional bandwidth (FBW), and quality factor (Q) values are given comparatively for each filter order. Also, the simulated and measurement results are in good agreement with each other. The measured results show that the performance of the WGFs fabricated by the CNC milling method is partially better than the filter fabricated by the SLA method. This decrease in SLA performance is thought to be due to the production methods. However, The WGF with the SLA method is nearly 50% lighter in weight than that produced with the CNC method. As a result, the SLA fabrication method is experimentally demonstrated to be a good alternative to conventional fabrication methods such as CNC milling.
