Abstract
An iterative technique to adjust ripple in a bandpass filter has been developed by curve-fitting numerical data. It gives an approximate relation of ripple against filter coupling coefficients and resonator resonant frequencies instead of finding a Jacobian matrix for each individual filter, in exchange for making more iterations. Numerical examples show reasonable convergence for Chebyshev filters up to the 16th-order, coupled quadruplets, coupled triplets and folded cross-coupled filters. A bandpass filter for a radio telescope in Yebes, Spain is designed and measured, a tenth-order superconducting spiral filter with 7% bandwidth, 2295 MHz centre frequency, <0.1 dB ripple and overall substrate size 30 mm × 8 mm. The 11 iterative simulations totalled 8.5 h of computer processing time.
