3 Pole <strong>Cavity</strong> <strong>Combl<strong>in</strong>e</strong> <strong>Filter</strong> – Initial <strong>Design</strong> I<br />

Several programs are available for generat<strong>in</strong>g the <strong>in</strong>itial design of a filter. For<br />

this cavity combl<strong>in</strong>e filter, the filter program by Wenzel/Erl<strong>in</strong>ger Associates<br />

was utilized at the Sierra Microwave Technologies facility. A center<br />

frequency was def<strong>in</strong>ed at 10 GHz with a 10% bandwidth and VSWR 1.1.<br />

Other <strong>in</strong>put parameters are listed below.<br />

INPUT PARAMETERS<br />

Read file = JRCL10 Load<strong>in</strong>g capacity:<br />

Outfile = JRCL10 Lumped X<br />

F Lower = 9.5000 Resonator Screw dia. = .08600<br />

F Upper = 10.500 Cover Reson. Gap = .05000<br />

VSWR = 1.1000 GPS = .31300<br />

Resonators = 3 Resonator dia. = .09400<br />

Resonator len. = .16000 Connector K= .05000<br />

Tap l<strong>in</strong>e dia. = .05000 Reson. Qu = 1140.0 *<br />

Surface = Silver Tap l<strong>in</strong>e len. = .15500 Loss @ F0 = .24283<br />
