Abstract

The design of crystal filters with asymmetric amplitude characteristics is considered. A cascadedsection network is synthesised by the factorisation of the lossless chain matrix, in the lowpass (LP) domain. Special elementary sections, each realising a transmission zero on the jÂ¿-axis, are related to the lower-order matrices extracted. These sections contain LP crystal prototypes where the LP motional inductances can present any desired value, so that, after a lowpass to bandpass transformation and impedance scaling, the piezoelectric units of the final crystal filter can possess the same motional inductance. An example is given.
