Fri Jan 28, 2005 3:14 am Need a Filter Structure, which has
Good Return Loss for both pass band and out band rejection.
Do remember seen once in Eagleware Demo. Top

Jan 28, 2005 10:14 am Good Luck! Sounds like you need to use
a diplexer where the out of band energy is dumped into a load.

If you can afford the added insertion loss, one way to get good
return loss both inband and out-of-band is to place an attenuator at
the input of the filter. The return loss improvement is 2x the
attenuation value. Be aware though that an attenuator designed to be
3 dB into a 50 ohm load will not be 3 dB into any other load. I say
this because your filter's out-of-band impedance willl not be 50 ohms.
A simulator such as Eagleware's will make easy work of it for you.

Greetings QQ: I would be remiss to not recommend the
two simulators offered by advertisers on RF Cafe: Aplac (based
in Finland) Eagleware (based in Georgia, USA) Otherwise,
there are numerous programs of varying complexity for you to chose from,
depending on your need. If you have not already done so, please take
a look at the many listings on the Software page on RF Cafe.
Thanks for writing. - Kirt Blattenberger :smt024

postPosted: Wed Mar 09, 2005 12:36 am I found a nice pdf file
from CERN by J.M. Belleman PS/BD/Note 2002-193(Tech) that offers
solutions for 3-7th order filters with very high out of band return
loss. Top Oleg Pozdeev Post subject: Unread
postPosted: Wed Mar 09, 2005 12:05 pm Arool, There are
two well known ways to build a BPF filter perfectly matched in- and
out of band. The first one is so called directional filter scrutinized
in many school books including microwave bible by Matthaei, Young and
Jones. The second employs two identical BPF's connected in between
of two quadrature hybrids (similar to balanced amplifier) Regards
