Eigen-state approach for the analysis and circuit representation of resonator systems. Towards a synthesis methodology

A novel filter analysis approach based on eigen-state formulation towards a systematic synthesis methodology is proposed. The proposed methodology renders possible bridging topology related aspects (geometry) with network representations. An innovative selectivity enhancement technique based on physical aspects drawn from energy dissipation considerations is proposed. Instead of only acting to reduce conductor and dielectric losses proposal is to consider increasing ability to store reactive energy as well, through inductive and capacitive couplings. Experimental verifications are carried out to validate the proposed concept. Tunability attributes are demonstrated for selectivity control.
