Abstract :
A type of elliptic-function filter is described that is easy to design and construct, has low passband loss, and is very compact. With simple scaling, a broad range of cutoff frequencies can be obtained with a limited number of standard parts. Experimental results are presented for three filters with cutoff frequencies of 0.75, 1.0, and 1.5 GHz. Each filter occupies a volume of about 0.5 in/sup3/.
