Abstract :
We propose original procedures for the design of high performance filters with simultaneously controlled band-pass and band-reject responses. The resonators are described as self-filtering structures and contribute to the in-band and out-of-band transfer function. The control is achieved either by specifying the resonators´ synchronization, or by inserting low-pass structures inside resonators.
