Coupling Matrix Synthesis of Microwave Differentiators

This letter presents a new design of microwave differentiators using coupled-resonator network. It is synthesized using coupling matrix techniques in the low-pass domain and subsequently transformed and implemented in the bandpass domain. Two numerical examples and one experimental validation are provided to illustrate the approach, which finally validates the proposed approach.
