Abstract:
A novel multiplexer design technique which makes use of distributed models is proposed. For the first time, dis- tributed models of dual mode filters are applied to the design of manifold multiplexers, with a large number of both contiguous or non-contiguous channels. After a brief review of the last advances in multiplexer design, the whole design process is described over a non-contiguous channel example. Finally, a contiguous channel case is presented.
