Abstract
Current circuit based models for filters with tapped line inputs are shown to be accurate for predicting passband performance and inaccurate for predicting stopband performance. EM field-solver computations are shown to be capable of accurate performance predictions in both the passband and stopband. Significant differences in stopband performance are shown to be possible with different types of input/output coupling.
