Abstract
This article presents a rigorous synthesis method of a transmission-line filter whose second passband can be placed at any multiple of the center frequency, in theory. Two coupled-line schematics for harmonic-controlled bandpass filters are derived from fundamental <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">LC</i> filter prototypes. Their design parameters are provided in closed-form expressions so filter dimensions can be acquired rigorously without relying on EM-simulation-based coupling tests. Three filters were designed and fabricated for verification purposes, and their measurement results exhibited excellent agreement with the theory.
