Abstract :
A method for the determination of the individual resonant frequencies and coupling coefficients of a system consisting of cascaded coupled resonators is presented. Measuring or computing the reflection coefficient phase synthesizes all the couplings and resonant frequencies. The method is very effective in tuning, diagnostics, and design of coupled resonator filters.
