In insertion parameter theory, after special types of insertion loss requirements are selected (flat loss in both the pass and stop bands) exact formulas for the char— acteristic functions of the filter exist. However9 in the general case, the insertion loss requirement in the block band is arbitrary and an approximation for the character» istic function is necessary. Only recently some work toward this general case has been conducted [EU 2]. The second part of filter design by the insertion parameter method is the determination of the network element values. This necessitates the solution of high-order equations and the method of zero shiftingo It is known that in these calculations an abnormal number of digits must be considm Kudrat Soemintapoera ered, otherwise the calculated element values are far from accurate or unrealizable. 0n the other hand, filter design based on the image parameter method does not ne- cessitate tedious calculations and the element values are explicitly given by very simple formulas. Discussions of the advantages and disadvantages of image parameter method over that of insertion parameter method can be found elsewhere [TO 1]. In this thesis some of the work done by Tokad [T0 1] for the low-pass filters are extended to the frequency unsymmetric band-pass filters. The contri= butions of this thesis are 1. Complete characterizations of the elementary basic sections are developed and the formu- las for the element values of these sections are develOped. 2. A systematic design technique is described for the frequency unsymmetric band-pass filters. 3. A general approach to the evaluation of terminating sections is given which utilizes a network transformation. 4. The image impedance function of a higheru order terminating section is studied and the results which are important to the designer Kudrat Soemintapoera are shown. In addition, discussions necessary for completeness in develOpment of the primary subject material are given so as to make the thesis self contained.

EVALUATION OF ATTENUATION FUNCTION BY DIGITAL COMPUTER . . . o . . . 134 iv Chapter I INTRODUCTION Although techniques for electrical filter design are well established, there is still improvement that can be accomplished in both the image parameter and the inser- tion parameter methods. In the insertion method, once the characteristic function is obtained, an exact realization is available. However if the loss requirement is not taken as one of a special kind (as is usually done) the calculation of the characteristic function requires some approximations. Such approximations are discussed in the literature [FR1], [EU 2]. Even these approximations can effectively be done by reducing the problem to the use of the image transfer function as in the case of a reference filter [DA 1] or the method described by Fischer [FIS 1]. This, of course, indicates one phase of usefulness of the image parameter method. In general, it canvbe said that the image parameter method of filter design is well estab- lished. In many cases the filter so designed is suffi- cient for the particular purpose which lead to the design of the filter. However, certain considerations in terms of improving this design method may yield a more econom- ical filter, i.e., a filter with fewer elements. Such 1 considerations can be found elsewhere [BE 2], [TO 1], [F18 1,2]. Even though the design becomes more involved, still the simplicity in the calculation of the filter ele- ment values remains unaltered. However in the insertion loss parameter method calculation of the element values is a major problem. Therefore, the image parameter method, due to some of the simplicities in the design, is still widely in use. In this thesis some of the improvements suggested for the image parameter method [TO 1], which cannot be used directly for frequency unsymmetric band—pass filters are considered. A complete study of elementary sections for this type of band pass filters is given. A technique for realizing frequency unsymmetric band pass filters based on the image parameter method is described. Fur- ther, the prOperties of certain terminating sections are investigated. A general deve10pment of the derivation of terminating sections is described. In this derivation (there is no limitation on the complexity of the terminating sections as there is in methods previously given by the other authors [BO 1], [RE 1], [TO 1]. The method of design described in this thesis also contains the design of crystal ladder filters [SK 1]. In fact since the branches of the elementary sections are identical with the electrical circuit representation of a quartz crystal, a quartz crystal symbol is used in the branches of these sections. However, crystal filters require additional conditions on their element values, therefore the method described in this thesis may not always lead to a filter whose branches may be replaced by crystals. This problem is not discussed in this thesis. Chapter II SPECIAL TYPES OF ELEMENTARY SECTIONS FOR THE FREQUENCY UNSYMMETRIC BAND-PASS FILTERS 2.1 . Introduction. The image attenuation function of band—pass fil- ters which can be obtained by a real* frequency transfor— mation from a low—pass filter attenuation function, has a geometric symmetry property. Filters of this kind are generally called frequency symmetric band-pass filters. The frequency transformation,which is real, reduces the design of such band-pass filters to the design of low—pass filters. The low-pass filter can be realized through the existing several well knowntechniques and the inverse transformation yields the band4pass filter. There are band-pass filters whose attenuation functions cannot be obtained through a real frequency transformation from the attenuation function of a low— pass filter. These band—pass filters exhibit non—sym- metrical attenuation characteristics and therefore they * By the word "real" it is meant that the transformation function is a positive real function. 4 are, in general, referred to as frequency unsymmetrical band-pass filters. However, for some special cases, as Laurent [LA 1] has shown, it is possible to obtain such characteristics from the low-pass attenuation character- istics by means of a frequency transformation followed by a non-constant factor multiplication. This method yields a band-pass filter section which should be used, as it is, without any reference as to how it is derived. In the design of the image parameter filters, the filters are considered as being composed of cascaded ele- mentary sections. For this purpose there must be image impedance matching at the terminal pairs of the cascaded sections. The elementary sections used in image parameter filters are, in general, mpderived type sections. Laurent [LA 1] has described several elementary band—pass filter sections. One of the elementary sections (called a zig-zag filter section) is the one that is considered here in detail. In this thesis, this elementary section (zig-zag filter) forms the basis for designing frequency unsym- metric band-pass filters. The zig-zag filter is a band- pass ladder network in which the attenuation poles are created, alternatively in the upper and the lower stOp bands, by either (1) only series arms or (2) only par- allel arms or (3) both the series and the parallel arms, so that the attenuation poles in the upper st0p band are created by the series arms while those in the lower stOp band by the parallel arms. The latter type of filter is used as the ultimate form of the filter designed by the method developed in this thesis. In general, this type of filter is frequency unsymmetric. Economical considerations are also important in the design of filters. For such reasons it is desirable to have the least number of inductors and capacitors pos- sible. For practical reasons, minimum number of inductors is preferred, For ladder networks, this is achieved if most of the ladder arms are reactance networks which have the appearance of the electrical representation of a quartz crystal. Watanabe [WA 1] has extended the necessary and sufficient conditions given by Fujisawa [FU 1] to the design of frequency unsymmetric band-pass filters based on the insertion loss method. His method results in a band_pass filter with minimum capacitors and inductors without mutual inductance. This network has most of its ladder branches in the form which could be consid- ered as the electrical equivalent circuit of a quartz crystal. Thus, in this case, the zig-zag configuration appears but partially. In a recent article, using an insertion loss design technique, Schoeffler [SC 1] has obtained ladder filters in which all ladder arms are replaceable by crystals and some capacitors. In this approach a special form of characteristic function is produced so that when the synthesis is carried out by the zero shifting method, a zig-zag type filter is ob- tained, i.e., most of the arms of the filter are made of reactance networks which represent a crystal. An extensive survey [BE 1, CA 1, TO 1, MO 1, F18 1,2, NO 1, R0 1,2, SA 1, CO 1, BR 1, MA 1, SH 1] has shown that a complete design procedure of frequency unsymmetric band-pass filters based on the image para- meter theory does not exist. The present work is an attempt to design a frequency unsymmetric band-pass fil- ter based on the image parameter design technique. Spe- cial elementary sections, to be used as building blocks of this filter, will produce a zig—zag filter of the third type mentioned above. This type of filter has a minimum number of capacitors and inductors. In certain cases it is possible to replace some or all ladder arms by crystals. Therefore, this configuration can also be utilized in the design of ladder band-pass crystal filters [SC 1,2]. It has been mentioned above that the elementary sections used in the design procedure to be described are of special form. These sections cannot be derived from other simpler sections as in the case of those derived from prototype sections by Zobel's m—derivation. For this reason it is necessary to investigate these elemen- tary sections separately and establish the necessary information for the design procedure. The following sections of this chapter are devoted to the descriptions of these elementary sections. 2.2 . The elementary sections. The salient feature of the zig-zag filters to be considered are that (1) the series arms will produce poles of the attenuation function only in the upper stOp band and (2) the parallel arms will produce poles of the attenuation function only in the lower stOp band. -The arms of this ladder filter are formed from a react- ance network which is similar in appearance to that of the electrical representation of a quartzzcrystal. 0n the other hand, there are also elementary sections in which these types of reactances appear only in one of the components which form the ladder arms. However, these sections do not form elementary sections for the zig—zag filter of the third type. All the three types of ele— mentary sections will however be considered here. Since reactance network shown in Fig. 2.2.1 resembles closely the equivalent circuit of a crystal, it will sometimes be replaced by the crystal symbol. Figure 2.2.2 a, b and c, represent the three types of elementary sections, their attenuation curves and image impedance curves, re- spectively. It is evident from Fig. 2.2.2 that only the first type or only the second type of section will not be able to produce the zig-zag filters. This follows since type E.S.1 has an attenuation pole only in the lower stOp band, type E.S.2 has an attentuation pole only in the upper stOp band, while the E.S.Z. type sec- tion has one attenuation pole in each of the stOp bands. In this latter section, the upper stOp band attenuation pole is created by the series arm and the lower stOp band attenuation pole is created by the parallel arm. The element values and further prOperties of these sec— tions will be given later. First it is necessary to give some general discussions on these elementary sections. .4 _.s.lg|_. FIG. 2.2.1 1O ZT.

General discussions of the elementary sections. In Fig. 2.3.1 the E.S.Z. section is shown in some detail. As is shown later, once the cut—off fre— quencies, the poles of the attenuation function and the constant of one of the image impedances are given, the section E.S.Z is completely determined. In the design of image parameter band-pass fil— ters these sections are connected in cascade as shown in Fig. 2.3.2 for n = 3. There exists, of course, image impedance matching between the interconnected terminal pairs. Note that in Fig. 2.3.2, the series and par- allel arms of the filter are indicated by the symbol of a quartz crystal for convenience. The resulting filter has the form shown in Fig. 2.3.3. The other types of elementary sections, i.e., E.S.1 and E.S.2 are shown in figures 2.3.4-a and 2.3.4-b. Their attenuation poles are on the lower and upper stOp bands, respectively. Thus, the attenuation poles of the filters constructed in cascading the E.S.1 sections only are concentrated all in the lower stOp band and those of the filters constructed from E.S.2 only, are concentrated in the upper stop band. Once the cut- off frequencies, the attenuation poles and the constant of one of its image impedances are given, the E.S.1 and E.S.2 are completely determined.

In forming a filter, these different types of elementary sections can be used provided the image im- pedance matching exists at the terminal pairs. One disadvantage of constructing filters this way is that, once the constant of one of the image impedances is given, the constants of all the image impedances of the elemen- tary sections in the filter will automatically be fixed. This also means that the element values in these sections are fixed. Therefore, it might not be possible to re- place the filter branches by the quartz crystals. In addition, since the impedance level at the other termi- nal pair is fixed, in general, there is a necessity to use an ideal transformer at this terminal pair. A study of the pole locations of these elementary sections shows that the section E.S.Z can be considered as the cascade connection of E.S.1 and E.S.2. Indeed, this equivalence exists with the addition of an ideal transformer at one of the terminal pairs of the cascaded sections. It is necessary to study this equivalence re- 1ation, because it will help in the determination of the element values of composite filter which is formed by cascade connected sections. Before starting a discus- sion on this equivalence relation, in the next section, some analytical detail of the different types of elemen- tary sections is given. The information obtained from these details of the sections is utilized for the design 15 of the band-pass filter having these sections. 2.4 . Analysis of the elementary sections. Each of the sections is treated separately in the following subsections of this section. 2.4.1.

The values of the capacitors Ca and "Cb are where: (2.4.20) Ca = T\/ Cb = 'RE 1 + K 63V“ 23 Other formulas necessary for the determination of the element values are developed in the following.

H-functions and some basic sections of band-pass filters. The H-functions of the sections E.S.1 and E.S.2 have similar frequencv dependent parts as the Hefunctions of the sections shown in Figs. 2.5.1 and 2.5.2. ’ For E.S.1, the expression for the H—function is: k j 2 2 2 (32.. 113) (w?- “’01) (w - .2) (“’3‘ “’51) (“’2’ w?)

Comparing the image impedances of E.S.1, E.S.2 and E.S.Z we notice the following: 1. §n8 has the same expression as ZT1’ except for the constant.’ 2. ZTa has the same expression as ZT’ except for the constant. 27 3. Zm has the same expression as Zn, except for the constant. By adjusting the values of the constant in the image impedances (this can be done by adjusting the element values) an image impedance matching can be provided for the cascaded E.S.1 and E.S.2 sections at their inter- connected terminal pairs. The resulting section will have the same image impedances as that of E.S.Z except for the constants (see Figs. 2.5.3 and 2.5.4). However this cascaded E.S.1 and E.S.2 section and E.S.Z have identical HEfunctions. Complete equivalence will be obtained if an ideal transformer is connected at the end of the cascaded network shown in Fig. 2.5.5.

Therefore the equiv- alence of the networks in Fig. 2.5.3 and 2.5.5 is established. The last part of the above discussion can be simplified by the theorem given in the following. THEOREM: The H-function of a lossless 2-port network will not change if the network is augmented by an ideal transformer connected to one (or both) of its ports. PROOF: The proof is trivial since by definition so H = -- Zoc and the cpen and short circuit impedances Zoc and Zsc at one of the terminal pairs of this 2-port are either unaltered or both multiplied by the same turns ratio when ideal transformer is added. 32 Note: The impedance constants on both ports can be multiplied by a constant factor without changing the K's of the section as can be seen from the relation R = ._E_ . n 1+K RT This means that only the element values of the section are changed. 2.7 . Further equivalence characteristics. The H-function of the E.S.Z section has the following form 2 2 1 (s + wo) 1+K NE52+ w$)(s2+ mg) Note that if K, as well as the critical frequencies, is not changed the H—function remains unaltered. Now consider a network consisting of cascade con- nected sections of Fig. 2.5.3. Let each of these ele- mentary sections be replaced by its equivalent network, given in Fig. 2.5.5. The resulting network is shown in Fig. 2.7.1. The structure to the left of s1 is an E.S.Z, the structure between s1 and 82, also that between s2 and s3, can be replaced by E.S.Z's ac— cording to the above theorem thereby eliminating the 33 1 $.19} 1 W} m II ii III :. %—.

This transformer has a different transformer ratio as compared to that last transformer in Fig. 2.7.1, but the H—func— tions of these networks are identical. Thus, it can be concluded that any filter consisting of cascade connected pairs of E.S.1 and E.S.2 can be replaced by a filter consisting of E.S.Z sectiOns ter- minated on an ideal transformer at one of its terminal pairs. Since the H-function will be the same, the calcu- .1ation of image attenuation and the image phase functions ./- 34 of the complete filter might be easier from one of these networks as compared to the other. 2.8 . Pole distributions and structure configurations. In this section possible locations of the atten- 'uation poles of a band-pass filter containing E.S.1, 'E.S.2 or E.S.Z are considered. The following rules may be observed: 1. The network consisting only of E.S.1, E.S.2 and E.S.Z will be obtained if there are at most two half poles and the rest of the poles are full poles. 2. Network consisting only of E.S.1 will be obtained if besides the condition 1, all poles are on the lower step band. 3. Network consisting only of E.S.2 will be obtained if besides the condition 1, all the poles are on the upper stop band. 4. Network consisting only of E.S.Z will be obtained if besides the condition 1, there are equal numbers of poles in the upper as well as the lower stop band. Full poles are counted as two. Figure 2.8.1 is an example of the application of these rules with six poles. 35 l I __ __.__ .J— __ __ ____., 1:1 1:3 __ [:1 g] E; 0* T o c— T V4) muggy/1%“ m 1/////////1/1 / // // m //////#1///j//1 l L I'L_ II - I I l l ‘1 1 ‘5 0“11:11“ 1 1 101—‘0 [:1 El 1;; E 1:1 :1 ,d ‘1_‘ ’d n J Wu m/dzum // 1: Wm; {W J l I In ”L WDF 1D 1‘ ° 1111 1% ° E :m: 5T3 E?

The impedances. The filters composed only of elementary sections that have been discussed in detail previously, i.e., E.S.1, E.S.2 and E.S.Z have terminal image impedances of the following forms 11..

They are normalized with respect to the factors Rn: V 52 '1 for Zn and a; 3‘7 E01 (2 9 2) 122 3—17.21 for 2T mm E -1 These two factors still leave RT and Rn free to be selected. In the design of a filter with E.S.1, E.S.2 and E.S.Z as elementary sections, RT or Rn' is one of the numbers that should be given before the design is carried out. It determines the values of the elements. From the plot of the impedance curves in Fig. 2.9.1 it is seen that there is only a narrow effective pass band range, i.e., the range where the impedances are relatively less fluctuating is a small portion of the entire pass band. Thus if a wider effective pass band is needed, a terminating section (T.S.) with higher order image impedance will be necessary. Note that the extremum point of these curves are close to one of the cut-off frequen- cies. This is mainly due to the fact that the form of these curves is controlled by either .ino1 or :?3:21 and the extremum points in the pass band are closer to these frequencies which are in the block band. The in— vestigation of these curves then suggests that if the image impedance is a function of at least two control 38 1O TLZ(normalized impedance) '1, II, III represent Z Zn‘fin 1 51—. fig “ o1 ‘ "1'5 1 L. 1 1.0—- _ ‘foO1’ pole on - Power stOp band _ «Fl—21: pole on upper stOp band 05—— - 19 2, 3, 4 represent Zn 220%EHJGL211 ’ J;ifi= 2 OJ—////’/,,rf””’"flflflfl— fi_\\\\\\\ 1 I J 1 l J l L | ‘ EGO 209.1 7 —1 -O.8 —0.2 o 0.2 0.6 +1 JAL 39 frequencies and one of them lies in the lower block band and the other in the upper block band, then the extremum point can be pulled towards the center of the pass band or perhaps the impedance curves will now contain two maximums or minimums which are located close to the cut- off frequencies. Indeed, if this is the case then it is possible to improve the matching requirements by arranging the location of the controlling frequencies so that the impedance is relatively less fluctuating in the pass range, i.e., so that there is a wider effective pass band. Two types of sections having image impedances with control frequencies in the upper stop band and lower st0p band, i.e., of higher order, can be readily obtained from the E.S.Z. These are sections obtained by series and shunt m-derivations of E.S.Z. They will be used as the ter- minating sections. These sections will be studied in detail in the rest of this section. In order to simplify the investigation of their image impedances some frequen- cy transformation will be used. 2.9.1. T.S. made of shunt m-derived E.S.Z.

The frequency transformation. For the investigation of the impedance curves of ZTm and an, it is convenient to use a frequency trans- formation.

From these figures one can observe that the curves are either flat or have almost a Chebyshev char- acter over a wider range of the pass band. The latter type is preferable. Note that these characteristics are considerably improved as compared to those of elementary sections. Among these impedance curves one should select the "best" curve. Since the best image impedance is the one which causes smallest insertion loss in a given ef- fective pass—band, then this, of course, implies that the image impedance must have Chebyshev behavior in this effective pass-band [CA 1]. In order to obtain best image impedance one has to locate the critical frequen— cies of this image impedance in the block bands properly. To study the effect of the location of the critical fre- quencies on the form of the image impedance curves which are already indicated in Riga. 2.9.5 and 2.9.6, a new frequency scale, J“L, is used. On this .fW.—axis, either w01 or w21 is transformed to infinity. The cut-off angular frequencies w1 and ”2 correspond to 11- On the other hand, the critical frequencies .fW_Op and .fl_2p are chosen so that they satisfy the relation .IW_Op +_I\_2p = O . This relation will provide almost a symmetrical character for the image impedance in the pass band. On the OJ-axis, 50 _Fl.= 0 corresponds to an angular frequency which is located in the vicinity of “a = £(w1 + mg), the arith- metic means angular frequency. Thus, on the co-axis these impedance curves are also relatively symmetrical with respect to w It can be observed that the form a' of these curves is almost independent of the location of w01 or w21, which is the critical frequency of the impedance. Based on these observations one can locate ”Op and pr’ perhaps by cut and try method on the computer, to obtain the desired image impedance char- acteristics. Chapter III THE FREQUENCY TRANSFORMATION AND THE TEMPLATE METHOD 3.1 . Introduction. In the design of ideal filters by the image para- meter theory, as well as by the insertion loss theory, one of the problems is the determination of the number and the locations of the attenuation poles. One method useful in practical filter design involves use of the template. This method was developed by several authors, [RU 1, LA 1, SA 2, F0 1], each differing slightly from the others. The one discussed and used here is the one set forth by Rumpelt [RU 1], which can be applied to the low-pass, band-pass or high-pass filters. In this chapter some techniques of frequency transformations are considered. The following sections are devoted to the development of these transformation formulas and their usage. 3.2 . Template for the low-pass filters. For this type of filters the normalized frequency 51 52 with respect to w1 is (\ = £L m, where w1 is the cut—off angular frequency of the low- pass filter. The frequency transformation used is 2 JfiL Y = i 111 (T) (3.2.1) JAL > 1 . Since the Hsfunction of the prototype section of the low-pass filters is given as H(jw) = w (3.2.2) .2 - .3 then H(Jl) = n , JIM. (3.2.3) V112.» From Eqs. 3.2.1 and 3.2.3? the following relation is obtained H(Y) = eY 0 (30204) The image attenuation function is given as = 1 H AI ln ’1 _ H Therefore, substituting Eq. 3.2.4 into this equation the following results (3.2.5) ‘ Y A = MILLS. = 1n cothl I I 1 - eY I? 53 On the other hand a simple m-derived section of the prototype has an Hsfunction of the form' H(jw) = mm . (3.2.6) At the attenuation pole w21 this Héfunction has the value of unity. Therefore we obtain “g1 ‘ “1 m =- (30207) “21 or, letting JAL21 = w21 , “1 2 m = 1/‘(1’21 - 1 fl-21 = e-YQ: o (3.208)? Thus, in general, for an m-derived section H(Y) = eY'YQ‘ and Y-Y21 AI(Y-721) = ln coth __§__ '(3.2.9) The total attenuation of a low-pass filter is Alt = E AI(Y-Yi) (3.2.10) where Y1 is the attenuation pole. Thus, the total attenuation curves can be obtained by plotting the curves represented by Eq. 3.2.9 along 54 the y-axis such that the peaks of these curves occur at the locations of the attenuation poles on the Yaaxis. The value of the attenuation at any frequency can be ob- tained by adding the ordinates of these curves at that frequency. Repeating this sum for every frequency will then yield the attenuation curve concerned. In Figs. 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 the template and the total attenuation curves are shown respectively. o ‘ >Y FIG. 3.2.1 Template curve 55 Yas FIG. 3.2.2 Total attenuation 1/////////g////1////J//It”./ (] m .flpa Ull/ ///////n/////////l///1/1m Yea Ya: °°’Y FIG. 3.2.3 Frequency transformation 3.3 . Template for the band-pass filters. There are two types of band-pass attenuation 56 curves. The first is the frequency symmetrical atten— uation curve and the second one is that of the frequency unsymmetrical attenuation curve. For the first type of attenuation curves the deve10pment and the use of the template method can be reduced to that of the low—pass filter method. The deve10pment of the second type which is more general, will be discussed separately. 3.3.1. Frequency symmetrical band-pass filter. let m1, ”2 be the cut-off frequencies of the band-pass filter and wm = ([5753. the geometric mean of these frequencies. The frequency transformation used for the frequency symmetric band pass filter is «2- “2. fl: m . .. w(w2 _ w1) (3 2 11) Fig. 3.3.1 shows how the w—axis is transformed into the .fl_-axis by this transformation. It can be observed from this figure that the .fl.-scale is symmetrical with respect to .13. = O, which corresponds to mm in the w-scale. Since the curve of the attenuation is also symmetrical with respect to a vertical axis passing through the zero value of the .fW_-axis, if there exists an attenuation at ma in the upper stOp band, an identi- cal attenuation will be obtained on the lower stOp band corresponding to the mirror image of ad. Therefore the design of the band-pass filter is reduced to the design of a low—pass filter. Once this lowhpass design is obtained, 57 the desired band-pass filter is then obtained by substi- tuting Eq. 3.2.11 into the element values formulas. £9,218,5',,9:99P, £29119. h 329% 8/1911 W19, .

FIG. 3.3.2 The range which is considered as low-pass range on the 57L scale 3.3.2. Frequency unsymmetric band-pass filters. The several methods of frequency transformations considered here for the frequency unsymmetric filters 58 differ slightly from that of symmetrical case. The reason it is necessary to have various modifications is that one can then make a choice as to which form is more appropriate to apply to a certain problem in order to treat it in a less complicated manner. These trans- formations are not only useful in treating the attenuation characteristic but also usefulfor treating the image imy pedances. In the pass—band, the consideration of the im- pedances is particularly essential. In the following discussions it is necessary to consider the H—functions of the band-pass filters. They are of the following forms (s2 + w H = K (82 + ”2) (3.2.12-a) or / (82 K'V( 2 “2) (302012“b) s + 1:: ll Only these two forms are considered since for all other forms of the H—functions the treatment can be reduced to the treatment of the above form of the H-functions. Note that the frequency dependence part of these Héfunc- tions is similar to that of the HAfunctions of the basic sections. Three types of frequency transformations are considered here. The last two types are frequently used in the current publications. The Héfunctions are in Eqs. 59 3.2.12-a and -b and the composition of these two, i.e., 2 2 H 2 1 t (s + “0) (3.2.13)' V1 + K" 1((sz+ w$)(82+ 00:) where S = 3” 9 2 m0 : confluent frequency , w1, mg : cut-off frequencies , K": a constant. In the next three sections the various frequency trans- formations that can be used to study the frequency unsym- metrical filter characteristics are deveIOped. 3.3.2.1. The first method of transformation. In this method one directly transforms the fre- quency by not going first through the normalization. This transformation is only useful for the attenuation function.

The first one has a pole at infinity and the second one has a pole at the origin.

The third method. In this method, normalization of the frequency variable is performed first and then the transformation follows. The frequency normalization considered here is also useful in treating the image impedances. The nor- malization is sometimes called the Goth-transformation.

The higher the order of the image impedance which is desired, the more repeated m—derived section has to be utilized. Terminating sections, having third and fourth order image impedances, will be derived. Higher ordered image impedance possessing terminating sections can be obtained by using more repeated m-derived sections by the same method. For convenience the m-derived sec- tions to be used for this purpose are shown in the fol- lowing diagrams, i.e., Fig. 4.4 and Fig. 4.5. They are the shunt m-derived and the shunt-series m m'—derived sections. The procedure for obtaining the terminating section having a third order image impedance is as follows: 1. Cascade the sections in Fig. 4.4 and Fig. 4.5 such that there is an image impedance matching at their interconnected terminal pairs. The resulting network is the network of Fig. 4.6. 2.

Introduction. For the general design of electrical filters, two different procedures are available. One of them which was established earlier is the image parameter method [20 1]. The other is the insertion loss method [DA 1, CA 1]. The image parameter method utilizes the image parameters of the filters, i.e., the image imped- ance (Z1) and the image transmission factor (PI). On the other hand, in the insertion loss method these parameters are in general, the insertion transmission factor (P8) and the driving point impedance (Zd). For this latter method, some authors prefer to use the reflection factor |p| and the characteristic function 9 . Under certain conditions, the two parameters Ps and PI become identical. This condition is obtained if image impedance matching at all terminals of the fil- ter is provided. This can be clearly seen from the for- mula derived by Zobel for the insertion loss in terms of the image parameters [TO 1]. Both of the above methods . 82 83 have their own advantages and disadvantages. In the image parameter method, due to the fact that simpler calcula— tions are required, realization can be achieved in a shorter time. However the resulting filter might COD! tain more elements than is actually needed. The inser- tion loss method on the other hand generally contains a smaller number of elements. However, a more complicated method of calculation is required which implies the use of electronic calculators in this design. Using the image parameter method for filter design we can immedi- ately obtain the elementary sections completely which are the building block of the filter. There often arise occasions in which the filters which are designed by the insertion loss method will have the same number of elements as those designed by the image parameter method. The only difference between these two filters is that there is an improvement in the electrical prOperties of the filters designed by the in- sertion loss method, which are not really required. In such cases, indeed due to its simplicity, the image para- meter method is preferable. Another design technique which has been established is the reference filter design method. In this design technique both the image parameter and the insertion loss parameters are involved. The synthesis is mainly carried out by the insertion loss method, and the image parameter 84 is used for finding the locations of the attenuation poles and also to determine the characteristic function. This can be seen from the following formula of the char— acteristic function for the filter m = E) sinh (PI) where 43 is a constant, c is the characteristic func- tion, PI is the transmission factor of an image para- meter filter (reference filter) which has nothing to do with the actual filter, except that it has identical attenuation pole locations with this filter. The advan- tage of the reference filter method over the image para— meter method is that it provides a flat loss in the pass band, i.e., the Chebyshev type of attenuation character- istics. However, the calculation of the filter elements is by no means as easy as that of the filter designed by the image parameter method. It is than desirable at this point to establish some formula which will furnish the relationship between the insertion loss properties of the filters and its image parameters. When such a relationship is established, then from the given insertion loss requirements, the image parameters of the filter can be obtained so that the fil— ter can be designed by means of the image parameter meth- od. Based on these parameters, some exact design proce- dures for low-pass filters exist and can be found else- where [TO 1]. Fisher [FIS 1] has used an approximation 85 formula and carried out an insertion loss design for symmetrical and antimetrical band-pass filters Uti- lizing the image parameter. However the design was completed by insertion loss synthesis. Some fundamental discussions on the attenuation and phase functions, es- pecially for symmetric and antimetric .filters, are given by Belevitch [BE 1,2]. The present work is the extension of the method presented by Tokad [TO 1] to the design of frequency unsymmetric band-pass filters, especially those having dissymmetrical characteristics. In the following sec- tions of this chapter the important features of the in- sertion loss and image parameter methods as well as the tOpics pertinent to the deve10pment of the desired for- mulas are presented. 25.2 . The characterizing function of the image parameter filters. The salient features of the image parameters, i.e., the image impedances and the transmission factor (21:, Z19 and PI) are considered first. 5.2.1. Input and output image impedances, Z1, and ZI,‘ For convenience, normalized values of image im- pedances are used. The normalization being with respect to the terminating resistors. The normalized impedances 86 are indicated by the symbols z1 and z2 and their properties are as follows: (i) in the pass band they are real and a func— tion of the angular frequency w . (ii) in the st0p band they are purely imaginary and a function of w . (iii) for symmetrical filters, 21 = 22. (iv) for antimetrical filters, Z122 = con- stant, usually taken as unity. 5.2.2.

AI is identically zero in the pass band and non—negative in the stOp band.for all types of lossless filters, i.e., all elements are lossless. BI is the image phase func- tion. It has distinct features for different types of filters. The following are the pr0perties of BI and AI in detail. 5.2.2.1. In the pass band. AI is zero. BI is monotonic increasing as a function of frequency. The properties are (i) For frequency unsymmetric band—pass filters. 1. Symmetrical types -m:n§_BIg_n:rt (5.2.1) 2.

"O, 000, m 0, 0.0, n o 89 5.3 . The chain matrix. In order to obtain a formula for the insertion loss function in terms of the image parameters, the chain matrix of the 2-port filter network is utilized. It re- lates the terminal currents and voltages of the filter. From the diagram in Fig. 5.3.1, we have the following relationships V1 AV2 + 312 = AVZ + eve/32 (5 3 1) I1 CV2 + D12 == 019:2 + DI2 where A, B, C, D are the elements of the chain matrix. If R1 = ZI1 and R2 = 219’ i.e., matching at the termi- nations, then V1/I1 = 21, and V2/12 = ZIa and from Eq. 5.3.1 we have _ AZ + B Z _ Is I, 7—35 (5.3.2) Z = DZI‘ + B I” 021: + D From these equations we obtain zI 21 = 3/0 ' ' (5.3.3) ZI,/ZI. = A/D .

These functions are used by Cauer [CA 1] in treating the insertion loss filter design technique. From Eq. 5.3.1 we have v1 sz + 312 = AV2 + BV2/R2 Therefore. I /I = CR + D = M 1 2 2 (5.4.1) The driving point impedance is Z = V1/I1 = R2 (N/M). (50402) 5.5 . Entries of chain matrix in terms of the image parameters. From Eq. 5.4.2, we have ZOO = A/C (R2 = w) 91 230 = B/D (R = O) . (5.5.1) Then the H—function is given by H = lips; = ‘IBC . (5.5.2) 280 If From this equation, since H = tanh PI, we have ePI = 1 + H = (BC + VAD (1 .. H 11m- 9391 = (cosh P]; + sinh PI) (cosh PI - sinh PI) ° Therefore ’VAD = cosh PI (5.5.3) ‘VBC = sinh PI Since AD - B0 = —sinh2P + cosh2P = 1, I I passivity of the network is implied. From' Eqs. 5.5.3 and 5.3.3, the following expressions are immediate: ZI. C = 1 sinh PI VZI, ZI,a D = 213 cosh PI , 92 5.6 . Insertion loss parameters. Figures 5.6.1 and 5.6.2 are to be used as an aid in deriving an expression for the insertion func- tion. It is assumed that the reactance 2-port network is terminated in two resistances, R1 and R2, and driven by the voltage driver E. 5.6.1. The insertion transmission function. In Fig. 5.6.1, the power delivered to the load through the 2-ports is given by . 2 2 [Nll = IIZRZI = 1.2. 0 (5.6.1) R2 The power delivered directly to the load as can be seen from Fig. 5.6.2, is 2 111.1 = 11321121 = |_Vé_| .

The definition of insertion transmission factor given in Eq. 5.6.3-a can be modified if Fig. 5.6.2 is replaced by Fig. 5.6.3. This will yield a new trans— mission factor, P which is called the effective or 0’ Operating transmission function. Ps and Po will be identical if the terminating resistances are identical. The advantage of using P0 in the design is that it will avoid the occurrence of negative losses in the pass band. The possibility that negative loss occurs is evident from the definition of P3 in Eq. 5.6.3. When an ideal transformer at one port is used, as will be apparent later, the form of the formula is also simplified. 5.7.1. Effective transmission factor. Using the diagram in Fig. 5.6.3, the maximum available power is 2 [mm] = [1112,]. (5.7.1) The power delivered to the load, from Fig. 5.6.1, is 2 [N1] = [12122]. (5.7.2) The transmission factor is defined as 2 Po = i In Nm - i lnIEl +'§ ln'El If 2 l 2 12 (5.7.3) P0 = A0 + 3B0 o 96 Thus the attenuation is: A0 = i-ln.El + ln‘El R2 I2 and the phase is: (5.7.4) B = arg( I1) . o ‘T_ 2 The characteristic function is also defined here as before -2A 2 e e -2Ao . (5.7.5) lwl " e where Ae is the effective return loss (echo loss). 5.7.2. The echo loss. The echo power here is defined as the total maxi- mum available power minus the power delivered to the load. Thus, in the definition of the characteristic function above, we have the situation that a fraction e-ZAO of the total power is delivered to the load and another fraction, e-2Ae, is reflected, hence 1 = emzA0 + 6"2Ae (a relation due to Feldtkeller). To study the relationship between A9 and the termi- nating impedances R1 and Z (or 21), consider Figs. 5.7.1, 5.7.2 and 5.7.3. In general, it is sufficient to consider only Fig. 5.7.2 and Fig. 5.7.3. In Fig. 5.7.2, Z represents the load impedance. The circuit in Fig. 5.7.3 contains the same driver E, but instead of Z there is a driver V representing the 39 97 a l__J ' O E ., v1 [1 zI FIG. 5.7.1 R1 I1 R1 I1 r—fl \ l__fi I A R1 1 1’ “3 FIG. 5.7.3 echo, and resistor R1. V8 is selected in such a way that the current I1 and the voltage V1 in Fig. 5.7.3 are identical to those in Fig. 5.7.2. Then the following 98 relationship can be written E = E - ve R1 + Z 2R1 or Ve = Z "' R . 2 RE Hence 2 lel = ——E 2R1 v 2 2 2 lNe' = e = Z - R . 2R1 ‘Z + R E‘ 4R1 Thus Ae = {rinlfigl = lnlz + R11 . (5.7.6) Ne ‘Z — R1 Let IZ+R1 = 1 Z-R1l m where [PI is referred to as the reflection factor. The echo loss is important for the filter design by the insertion loss method in the pass band. In the remaining parts of this section, discussion is devoted to the study of the echo loss, in the pass band, for dissymmetrical filters. Substituting Eq. 5.4.2 into Eq. 5.7.6 we obtain Ae ln M + N M - N 'CR2 + B/R2 + D + A Gig—B/Rg-t-D—A 1n 99 As = 4;. ln (az1 + [1/a]zg)2coszBI + (1/a + az1zz)sin2BI (az1 - [1/a]zz)2cos2]31 + (1/a az1zz)sinZBI where a = 1/Eh' R2 Ae = % 1n (a2z1 + 222)2 + (1 - 222)(1 - a4z12)sinzBI (azz1 - 222)2 e (11- 222)(1 --a4z12)sin2BI (5.7.7) In order to determine a bound on Ae function let Eq. 5.7.7 be written as Ae zek ln ~(a221+22)2 + {(1+a221zg)2 - (a221+zg)2}sinzBI , (a221-22)2 + {(1-a22122)2 - (a221-22)2}sin231 (5.7.8) From Eq. 5.7.8 it can be seen that if (a2z1 + 22)2 z (1 + a221z2)2 then also 2 1(a221 - z2)2 z (1 - a 2122)2. Since, in the pass band, Z1, 22, and a are positive, then (a221 + 22)2 > (8221 - 22)2 (1 + a22122)2 > (1 - a22122)2 . The value of the numerator expression in Eq. 5.7.8 is always between (azz1 + 22)2 and (1 + a22122)2 and the 100 value of the denominator is between (3221 - 22)2 and (1 - a2 2122)2. The curve corresponding to the denomina- tor will always be below that corresponding to the nu- merator. In Fig. 5.7.4 the curves are sketched. FIG. 5.7.4 Curves 1 and 2 correspond to the numerator of Eq. 5.7.8 when sin2BI is O and 1, respectively.

Thus, in the 0p- erating loss, we have the same formula as in the case of insertion loss, except that the term containing R1, R2 disappears. Thus, we have a more convenient set of for- mulas if Operating loss formulas are used. This is what will be done in the following sections and if insertion 108 loss is required then the term ln 2fR1Rz R1+R2 will be added to the formula. In the next section the formulas for the operating loss will be presented. 5.9 . Formulas for the operating loss design technique.

Introduction. The filter design procedure considered in this chapter is based on the image parameter method. It is assumed that the insertion (effective loss) requirements of the filter are specified. The synthesis of the filter network is carried out using the image parameter method. Some exact design procedures for the filter utilizing the image parameter method and approximate techniques for sym- metrical and antimetrical. filters with the insertion loss method are already develOped [TO 1, F18 1]. In this thesis the work is mainly devoted to the.design of frequen- cy unsymmetric band—pass filters, especially those having dissymmetric configurations. The realization procedure is carried out by the image parameter method. The ele- mentary sections used in this type of filter cannot be ob— tained as those of frequency symmetrical filters by the frequency transformation from a low-pass filter. The technique deve10ped by Laurent, to generate elementary sections for general filters, can be utilized. However 110 111 these generated sections must be used as is without re- ferring to how they are generated [LA 1]. There are other techniques available to generate a set of elementary sec- tions [BR 1, SH 1, MA 1, NO 1, BO 1, CO 1, SA 1]. These elementary sections should be used as is. Since each ele- mentary section is considered as independent, its prOp— erties must be investigated separately. The necessary information required for the design can be obtained from analytical investigations. One method which seems to be less complicated than others, hence preferable, is to develop the elemen~ tary sections from the basic sections by m-derivation [NO 1, B0 1, see also Chapter II, section 2.5]. One other factor to be considered before deve10ping relations for the elementary section is the fact that these sections should contain a minimum number of inductors [SA 1, WA 1] The elementary sections which are suited to the discus- sion of this thesis are those E.S.1, E.S.2, and E.S.Z which are presented in Chapter II. The approximation of the loss functions for sym- metric and antisymmetric filters are given by the formulas AeZAI - 1n 2 Nepers for stOp band A332 ln {z 22122 Nepers for pass band where A8 is the insertion attenuation AI is the image attenuation 112 z is the normalized image impedance . The approximation has to satisfy the overall requirements, 1.8., (1) in the pass band Asg’As min (2) in the stOp band AsZ.As max . An improvement on the approximation in the stop band for symmetrical and antisymmetrical filters [FIS 1] is 2 A0 é AI + 1n [z2-+ 1] - ln 2 Nepers 2z where A is the effective attenuation I All 3 Nepers . 6.2 . Approximation for the attenuation function of dis— symmetrical filters. In the pass band Belevitch [BE 1] has made an extensive discussion especially for the low-pass filters, frequency symmetrical and unsymmetrical band-pass fil- ters of symmetrical and antimetrical types. However for the dissymmetrical case he considered only epecial types of filters. Here formulas for completely dissym- metrical filters will be established. From Eq. 5.9.6-a and -b, in the pass band, we have 113 ‘F 2 2 e2A° = (1+z122) sin2BI + (21+Z2) cos2BI _ 42122 42122 2 2 2 e2A0 [_(1+z122) + ((z1+z2) _ (1+z122) )coszBI . L. 4z1z2 4z1z2 4z1z2 2 Let (1 + Z122) = B 42122 2 (21 + 22) = C 42122 . Consider now the value of the function e2A0 at a fixed frequency. If C - B<1O then, at this frequency, e2A° will have a maximum when coszBI = O. This maximum is B. The minimum at this frequency will occur when cos2BI = 1. This minimum is C. The converse is true when B — C<ln 2 , 4X1 X2 then AI<1AO. Therefore it is necessary to investigate the behavior of the function f(x1,x2) to check if the condition ln 20 ,/:1—1 xg-1 fxaxa = 2 >0 0 1/41=1 xg=1 Thus we will have an extremum at (x1,x2) = (1,1) be- ' cause DD’O. However this extremum is a minimum (f > O, f > O). From this discussion it is seen xxx: xexa that f(x1,x2) can be made as large as we desire. This, of course, implies that, according to Eq. 6.1.2, AI can be made as small as possible, thus a minimum number of elements will be required in the filter. However, this possibility is limited by the available types of imped- ances, z1 and 22. 6.3 . The design procedure. As the starting points for the design for the insertion loss filters, the following requirements are given: I. Effective pass band and the required effec- tive return loss in this range, i.e., 117 A or Ipl = e 9 e . II. Effective stOp band and the corresponding attenuation requirements. III. The requirements on the imput and output impedances in the stOp band. For the image parameter filters we have the following requirements: If The interval in which the image impedances are real.

Chapter VII CONCLUSIONS AND FURTHER PROBLEMS Complete characterizations of elementary band— pass filter sections have been developed as well as formulas for the values of the elements of these sec- tions. The elementary sections discussed in this the- sis are of Special types (see Chapter II). However, the deve10pment can also be applied to other types of sections. The reason that only the Special type of sections are considered here is that a filter made out of these sections is an economical filter, i.e., it contains a minimum number of elements. A systematic design technique is described using an approximation formula for the attenuation function, which takes into consideration the effect of image impedance. The effects of image impedances are generally omitted in the earlier approximation formulas for the attenuation function. The study of higher order image impedances by using a frequency transformation technique is discussed and the selection of the location of the critical fre- quencies of the impedance function is considered. For the determination of the location of these critical frequencies a digital computer program has been employed. 127 128 After using a frequency transformation on the image im— pedance expression, through a trial and error method these frequencies are located to give the "best" image impedance function. However, an analytical approach, perhaps utilizing elliptic functions, could be used. Such an approach is not considered in this thesis, but rather is left as a further problem. In this thesis only lossless band-pass filters are considered. In the ease of incidental losses, as is known for the low-pass case [T0 1], as long as the losses are assumed to be uniformly distributed, a simple computer program can be written to take into account the effect of losses. In this thesis, the program written and used for the calculation of the insertion loss func- tion can easily be extended to the lossy case. However, since the main objective in this thesis for the designing of "zig-zag" type of band-pass filter is to describe an exact design procedure, such an additional program coveringthe lossy case is not written.
