Abstract. Various frequency selective devices manufactured by different technologies are used in modern microwave systems to filtering electromagnetic signals. Planar structures on dielectric substrates find a wide spread in low- and average-level (less than 100 W) power systems. Microwave filters on cavities and waveguides are utilized in high-power systems for these purposes. Waveguide filters are the separate class of perspective functional devices dynamically developing in the present time. Diversity of designs of such filters, techniques of their manufacturing and methods of calculation is quite high. In conjunction with this a review of waveguide microwave filters of different frequency ranges is carried out in the present work. Their classification is proposed. It is shown that waveguide filters are well adapted for operating at different frequencies both in microwave and terahertz ranges. Structures of filters, some methods of their manufacturing and mathematical modeling are analyzed. 

Key words: waveguide filters, microwave range, inductive and capacitive irregularities, computation techniques.
