These types of filters are typically found in the frontend of high-frequency transceivers of very diverse systems such as radar, satellite TV or microwave links. This paper addresses the strategy of subdividing the design process of a combline filter into minor stages, each of which takes into account less degrees of freedom (i.e. parameters of design) than in a direct global design. This work evidences how optimization divided into simpler stages becomes an excellent approach to accomplish this task, making it possible to achieve the level of refinement that the physical design parameters require to reach the desired partial responses.}, author = {A Mor{\'a}n-L{\'o}pez and J A Ruiz-Cruz} }
