ABSTRACT:
A novel design for producing bandpass filters with essentially square shapes with little or no ripple in the passband zone. Filters are of the all-dielectric type that consist of multiple cavities of bandpasses with the first and last cavities consisting of four less layers than the inner cavities. The inner cavities all have the same number of layers. All of the cavities are separated from each other by quarter wave thick layers of low index material. Layers of low index material may be added between the filter and the entrance and exit mediums. Multiple half-waves are added to the outer cavity quarter-wave stacks in particular and also may be added to some of the inner cavity stacks, These sharpen the transition from low transmission to high transmission without unduly adding ripple to the high transmission zone. The thickness of the first few layers and last few layers may be altered to enhance the transmission of the filter by matching the index structure of the passband to the adjacent mediums.
