The generalized chebyshev low‐pass prototype filter

Abstract A synthesis method is presented for the class of low‐pass prototype filters having an equiripple passband response with a single transmission zero at infinity and the remainder at a finite real frequency. To synthesize the network, the even mode or the odd mode is obtained directly using the alternating pole technique and little accuracy is lost for networks up to degree 19. Tables of element values for commonly used specifications are included. Finally, the practical advantages of this prototype when used to design certain classes of filters are discussed.
