Method For Theoretically Determining The Locus And Location Of The Transmission Zeros In Microwave Filter Networks, Keehong Um
Dissertations
This dissertation presents a theoretical investigation of a practical method to determine quantitatively the locations and loci of complex transmission zeros (TZ's) of positively and negatively cross-coupled RF or microwave bandpass filter networks.
Bandpass filters can be effectively designed by adjusting the locations of TZ's in the complex s-domain. To locate TZ's, this practical method uses chain matrices for subsystems (discrete parts of the network) of the filter network, and can be extended to other types of filters with cross-coupled sections.
An important result is that a complex doublet, triplet and/or quadruplet, (one-, two-, or four-pairs) of TZ's are shown …
