Single-Passband Single-Stopband Narrow-Band Filters

H. Clark Bell Fellow, IEEE

Page 2472.

Abstract:

Techniques are presented for obtaining an optimum filter response for narrow-band requirements of a single passband and a single stopband. For certain transformed equiripple passband responses, including Chebyshev and elliptic function responses and a new"double n/2 poles"response, the minimum number of resonators can be easily determined, resulting in reduced size and weight relative to more conventional frequency-symmetric bandpass or bandstop filters.
