In this paper, we present the transmission characteristics control of a 125 GHz-band split-ring resonator (SRR) bandstop filter by coupling an alignment-free lattice pattern. We demonstrate that the transmission characteristics of the SRR filter can be controlled by coupling the lattice pattern; however, the required accuracy of alignment between the SRR filter and lattice pattern was below 200 µm. Therefore, we designed an alignment-free lattice pattern whose unit cell size is different from that of the SRR unit cell. S21 of the SRR bandstop filter changes from -38.7 to -4.0 dB at 125 GHz by arranging the alignment-free lattice pattern in close proximity to the SRR stopband filter without alignment. A 10 Gbit/s data transmission can be achieved over a 125 GHz-band wireless link by setting the alignment-free lattice pattern substrate just above the SRR bandstop filter.
