Extended Path Filter Configurations
Abstract
In this work we introduce a method for increasing the maximum number of transmission zeros in the response of path filters. This recently introduced inline filter configuration allows for up to four transmission zeros on the imaginary axis. The solution proposed in this work, while maintaining the inline configuration, increases the number of transmission zeros up to N-1 (with N order of the filter). The novel concept allowing the additional zeros introduction is verified by means of the design of a waveguide filter of order 8 with 6 transmission zeros.
