The procedure is applicable to both symmetric and asymmetric frequency responses and effective for any number of passbands and stopbands. An optimum equal-ripple performance is obtained in each passband and stopband. Prescribed real or complex transmission zeros can also be employed in the multi-band filtering function.}, keywords = {band-pass filters, band-stop filters, generalized multiband microwave filters, microwave filtersfrequency responses, optimum equal-ripple performance, passbands, stopbands}, issn = {0149-645X}, doi = {10.1109/MWSYM.2007.380425}, url = {http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel5/4263706/4263707/04264064.pdf?tp=\&isnumber=\&arnumber=4264064}, author = {Zhang, Y and Zaki, K A and J A Ruiz-Cruz and Atia, A E} }
