Abstract :
Based on a versatile S-matrix formulation, a flexible design concept for folded waveguide filters is presented. Even- and odd-order filters can be designed with transmission zeros placed arbitrarily. Different configurations are shown to achieve responses, which satisfy a wide range of possible filter requirements. The process is validated by comparison with both commercially available software and measurements.
