Abstract
The basic design considerations for the 12 GHz low loss TE103 filters are described. The synthesis, optimization and realization of a new type low loss non-contiguous triplexer which uses the above filters and a WR75 manifold is presented. Test results of an engineering model unit currently being qualified for use in the F-4 Telesat Canada communications satellite are also provided, and are in good agreement with the calculated ones. The measured unloaded Q'S of the 4 pole TE103 dual mode elliptic filters used are well over 9,000.Keywords
