Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would
be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate
that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views.
It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if
you would like to post something on RF Cafe's
Facebook page, please do.
Below are all of the forum threads, including all
the responses to the original posts.

I want o convert this filter to differential. How to convert the L and C values from single ended to differential?
Single ended filter values (5 pole butterworth) L1=30nH L2=16nH
C1=29pF C2=27pF C3=6pF

In your case L1a = 15 nH L1b = 15 nH L2a = 8 nH L2b = 8 nH Capacitors, instead, will keep their original value: C1 = 29 pF C2 = 27 pF C3 = 6 pF
