AbstractA procedure for the synthesis and design of contiguous band manifold output multiplexers based on singly terminated filters with elliptic response is presented. The zero-shifting technique leads to the synthesis of a driving-point impedance including transmission zeros at finite real frequencies. The synthesized canonical forms have different topologies, number of reactive constant elements and reactive part of the driving impedances with different frequency responses. These characteristics have been intensively analyzed to find the most suitable combination in the multiplexing process to match the channels to the manifold. A Ku-band four-channel elliptic-response multiplexer has been designed in H-plane rectangular waveguide, manufactured and measured in order to show the proposed approach.
