Author Description

This practical resource introduces progressive techniques in the creation of sophisticated reflectionless filter topologies in order to optimize filter responses. Real-world applications and implementations of reflectionless filters are explored including, up/down converters, multiplier chains, broadband amplifiers, slope equalizers, and time domain applications. Passive microwave networks including, two-port, filter transfer functions, and transmission lines are explained. This book offers insight into classical absorptive filters, diplexers, directional filters, hybrid-coupled filters, and absorptive guassian filters. The foundations of reflectionless filters are discussed including, multiplexers, transmission-line, and generalized reflectionless filters. Tools for the creation of advance topology are also presented.
