Abstract :
A general multiplexer design procedure without dummy channels is described. The formulas are applied to the optimal design of practical contiguous or non-contiguous band multiplexers consisting of multicavity filters distributed along a waveguide manifold. All design parameters can be directly optimised. An example of a practical 12 channel, 12 GHz contiguous band multiplexer is presented.
