THEORY:

Composite Filters
By combining in cascade the constant-k, m-derived sharp cutoff and the m-
derived matching sections we can realize a filter with the desired attenuation
and matching properties. This type of design is called a composite filter, and is
shown in Figure 1.

The sharp cutoff section, with m < 0.6, places an attenuation pole near the
cutoff frequency to provide a sharp attenuation response; the constant-k section
provides high attenuation further into the stopband. The bisected-π sections at

the ends of the filter match the nominal source and load impedance, R0, to the
internal image impedances, ZiT , of the constant-k and m-derived sections. Table
1 summarizes the design equations for low- and high-pass composite filters.
