Abstract :
A demand for high power filters is met by a theoretical procedure to produce prototype networks designed for high peak voltages. This is in contrast to previous techniques which look at physical design methods to minimise breakdown in the various technologies used for realisation. Limitations are placed on the optimisations to ensure practical topologies are generated
