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.

Return loss near cutoff is very poor (-6 dB) and rejection is not monotonically decreasing. it falls down very sharply upto -40 dB (typically) and then increases by 2 or 3 dB and remains constant at that level. I have tried various combinations of substrate parameters, number of elements etc.. Can u please help me out? thank you

The last 2 types have strange behaviour near the -3dB cut off frequency.
If the cutoff roll-off rate in the stop band is very high it suggests an Elliptic Function or Chebychev filter, and the behaviour may be quite normal for that type.
They are used when you know the max frequency can be set somewhat below the max design frequency, but you have several products or external carriers not far removed from the wanted carrier, and you need max attenuation of these. The subsequent sidelobes of the filter then can remain the same level once they have been eliminated.
So, tell us more.
