    An Application-Oriented Design Procedure for Cascaded-Block Extracted-Pole Filters

    No full text
    In this article, a novel design approach for a general configuration of extracted-pole filters is presented. The proposed solution is based on the synthesis of a prototype network, followed by the evaluation of universal coefficients. The prototype is then denormalized into a form suitable for the implementation that is characterized by parameters recoverable from the physical structure that implements the filter. The main advantage of the proposed approach is that the design of the overall filter structure is broken into the design of elementary blocks, whose equivalent parameters are available after the synthesis (their value can be controlled exploiting the degrees of freedom offered by the use of the universal coefficients). Several design examples in different technologies are presented to illustrate the generality and the effectiveness of the proposed approach

    Cooking Microwave Filters: Is Synthesis Still Helpful in Microwave Filter Design?

    No full text
    In "Recipe for Cooking Microwave Filters," we show the classic recipe for "cooking" with narrow-or moderate-bandwidth microwave filters. While the result of this recipe is generally effective [1] (the "cake" is only rarely not edible), the tendency of some "cooks" (often young microwave engineers) is to jump to the last two steps as quickly as possible. In fact, they consider the first two steps to be less important and definitely not necessary to obtain a filtering structure that satisfies the requirements. This approach is partially justified by the increasingly shorter times to market that the final product-the filter-requires in a business such as global telecommunications, where competition has become a fight to the death

    A New Resonant Coupling Structure for Inline Waveguide Filters with Transmission Zeros

    No full text
    In this work a novel resonant coupling structure in rectangular waveguide is introduced. The proposed structure allows the introduction of transmission zeros in the response of inline filters. The main advantage with respect to the resonant couplings usually adopted (i.e., resonant posts) is that the new structure allows the placing of transmission zeros very close to the passband. Moreover, it does not require any extra space as instead does the stopband singlet recently introduced for the same purpose. An equivalent circuit of the novel coupling structure is proposed, suitable for the use in the synthesis of filters with frequency-dependent couplings. Dimensioning charts are then introduced, to make it easy the initial assignment of the physical dimensions of the structure so that the extracted equivalent parameters have the assigned values. Finally, an example of use of the novel coupling structure in a 6-2 waveguide filter in Ka band is presented
