A compact band-pass filter using multi-element resonators
A compact, band-pass filter utilizing multi-element resonators, structured from sections of distributed transmission lines, is presented. A band-pass filter design procedure is established that emphasizes CAD techniques to characterize the individual resonators and to determine the resonator coupling values required for a specified pass-band response. Detailed band-pass filter design examples are illustrated and simulation results are employed to validate the design procedure. (C) 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
