Coupling-Matrix Design of Dual and Triple Passband Filters

The concept of the conventional coupling matrix is extended to include designs of dual- and triple-band filters. The multiband response is created by either placing transmission zeros within the bandwidth of a wideband filter or using higher order resonances. Realizable topologies both in planar and waveguide technologies can be imposed and associated coupling coefficients enforced during optimization. The design process is verified by measurements and comparison with results of commercially available field solvers
