Direct Design Formulas for Asymmetric Bandpass Channel Diplexers

Abstract

This paper gives direct design formulas for asymmetric bandpass channel diplexers, which allow rapid design of diplexers using narrow-band direct-coupled resonator filters. Computed results for a prototype diplexer are given, and results are presented for a 5.8-GHz asymmetric waveguide diplexer, which demonstrate the high performance possible using this design technique.
