Abstract

See full text

A bandpass filter having 4-degrees of freedom includes a plurality of resonant cavities having respective Qs where at least one of the Qs is different. A plurality of main couplings couple successive resonant cavities to establish a main signal path that provides a first degree of freedom for controlling the shape of the filter's frequency response over its passband. A plurality of bridge couplings couple pairs of the resonant cavities so that the cavities are connected in a canonical circuit topology. The bridge couplings provide second and third degrees of freedom for controlling the sharpness of the frequency response 's transition between its passband and stopband and controlling the linearity of its phase, respectively. The cavities' non-uniform Qs provide a fourth degree of freedom for controlling the amplitude of the filter's frequency response in the passband so that the amplitude is within a predetermined tolerance of a desired passband shape.
