Abstract
Due to the complex arrangement of frequency plans and spatial coverages in modern satellite communication systems, channels that are noncontiguous in frequency may be amplified by a single power amplifier and transmitted to the ground through one beam. In this letter, a dual-mode canonical filter with dual-passband is presented. The filter adopts dual-mode technique for mass and volume reduction. Canonical structure is adopted for maximum zero realization. To validate the design technique, a six-pole dual-mode dual-passband filter of canonical structure for K a-band (30/20 GHz) satellite transponder is realized. The measured frequency response of the filter shows good agreement with the computed one.
