DESIGN OF GENERALISED CHEBYSHEV SUSPENDED SUBSTRATE STRIPLINE FILTERS

N. Lioutas

S U M M A R Y

A method for designing suspended substrate stripline (SSS)

lowpass and highpass microwave filters is presented. Such
filters can be realised by using a generalised Chebyshev
lowpass prototype. An extension of this work is the
development of SSS diplexers and multiplexers. The
procedure for the design of a SSS contiguous diplexer is
given.

SSS filters are compact and light-weight. Furthermore

they are not as lossy as microstrip and more conventional
stripline microwave filters.
