Microwav Filtrs (Chaptr Eight) microwav filtr is a two-port twork us to cotrol th frqucy rspos at a crtai poit i a microwav systm y proviig trasmissio at frqucis withi th passa of th filtr a attuatio i th stopa of th filtr. Typical frqucy rsposs iclu low-pass, high-pass, apass, a a-rct charactristics. pplicatios ca fou i virtually ay typ of microwav commuicatio, raar, or tst a masurmt systm.
Prioic Structurs (Sctio 8.) ifiit trasmissio li or wavgui prioically loa with ractiv lmts is rfrr to as a prioic structur... Prioic structurs ca tak various forms, pig o th trasmissio li mia ig us. Oft th loaig lmts ar form as iscotiuitis i th li, ut i ay cas thy ca mol as lump ractacs across a trasmissio li... Prioic structurs hav passa a stopa charactristics similar to thos of filtrs; thy fi applicatios i travligwav tus, masrs, phas shiftrs, a atas. 3
