PREFACE
The organization of this book has three general objectives. The
first objective is to present fundamental concepts, techniques, and data
that are of general use in the design of the wide range of microwave
structures discussed in this book. The second objective i s to present
specialized data in more or less handbook form so that a designer can
work out practical designs for structures having certain specific con-
figurations, without having to recreate the design theory or the deriva-
tion of the equations. (However, the operation of most of the devices
discussed herein is sufficiently complex that knowledge of some of the
basic concepts and techniques is usually important.) The third objective
i s to present the theory upon which the various design procedures are
based, so that the designer can adapt the various design techniques to
new and unusual situations, and so that researchers in the field of
microwave devices may use some of this information as a basis for deriv-
ing additional techniques. The presentation of the material so that it
can be adapted to new and unusual situations is important because many

The preparation of this book was largely supported by the Signal Corps,
under Contract DA 36-039 SC-87398; its preparation was also partially sup-
ported by Stanford Research Institute, and by off-work time contributed by
the authors. Many of the design techniques described in this book are the
result of research programs sponsored by the Signal Corps under
Contracts DA 36-039 SC-63232, DA 36-039 SC-64625, UA 36-039 SC-74862,
and DA 36-039 SC-87398.
Mr. Nathan Lipetz of the U.S. Army Electronics Research Laboratory,
Ft. Monmouth, N. J., because of his belief in the importance of research
work in the area of microwave filters and coupling structures, and in the
potential value of a book such as this, did much to-make this book possible
Mr. John P. Agrios and Mr. William P. Dattilo, both of the U.S. Army
Electronics Research Laboratory also were of great help. Mr. Agrios main-
tained a close interest in this project throughout the preparation of this
book, as did Mr. Dattilo, who reviewed all of the chapters as they were
prepared. He made numerous suggestions which have resulted in valuable
improvement in the clarity and usefulness of this book.
Dr. S. B. Cohn, formerly of Stanford Hesearch Institute and presently
of the Rantec Corporation, led the microwave filter and coupling structu
research at Stanford Research Institute during the earlier Signal Corps
filter programs at SRI. In many places this book presents research resu
or reflects points of view, which are due to him.
The authors' colleagues at SRI, and numerous researchers elsewhere
have made many valuable contributions to the subject area of this book,
and many results of their work have been incorporated into this book.
The authors thank the various journals, book publishers, and elec-
tronics firms who have given permission for the use of numerous figures
and tables.

MICROWAVE FILTERS,
IMPEDANCE-MATCHING NETWORKS,
AND COUPLING STRUCTURES
CHAPTER I
SOME GENERAL APPLICATIONS OF FILTER STRUCTURES
IN MICROWAVE ENGINEERING
SEC. 1.01. INTRODUCTION
Most readers will be familiar with the use of filters as discussed
in Sec. 1.02 below. However, the potential applications of the material
in this book goes much beyond these classical filter applications to
cover many other microwave engineering problems which involve filter-type
structures but are not always thought of as being filter problems.
Thus, the purpose of this chapter is to make clear to the reader
that this book is not addressed only to filter design specialists, but
also to antenna engineers who may need a broadband antenna feed, to
microwave tube engineers who may need to obtain broadband impedance
matches in and out of microwave tubes, to system engineers who may need
a microwave time-delay network, and to numerous others having other
special microwave circuit design problems.
SEC. 1.02, USE OF FILTERS FOR THE SEPARATION OR
SUMMING OF SIGNALS
The most obvious application of filter structures, of course, i s
for the rejection of unwanted signal frequencies while permitting good
transmission of wanted frequencies. The most common filters of this
sort are designed for either low-pass, high-pass, band-pass or band-stop
attenuation characteristics such as those shown in Fig. 1.02-1. Of course,
in the case of practical filters for the microwave or any other frequency
range, these characteristics areonly achieved approximately, since there
is a high-frequency limit for any given practical filter structure above
- which its characteristics will deteriorate due tojunction effects, reso-
nances within the elements, etc.
Filters are also commonly used for separating frequencies in
diplexers or multiplexers. Figure 1.02-2 shows a multiplexer which
segregates signals within the 2.0 to 4.0 Gc band into three separate
