Abstract
The design of manifold-coupled multiplexers for wideband applications is considered in this paper. A systematic procedure, based on the sequential connection of filters to the manifold and subsequent adjustment of the interconnection elements, is presented. The filters are attached to the manifold without using stubs in order to minimize the effect of spurious resonances. The interconnection elements, the manifold, and the remaining filters are considered as the first inverter of each new filter that is attached. This technique has been applied to several practical examples. The obtained results validate the proposed design methodology.Keywords
