The formed waveguide comprises a first linear segment and a second linear segment coupled by a first angular bend. The band-pass filter further includes an insert plate disposed between the first element and the second element along a direction of propagation of the waveguide. The direction of propagation follows the angular bend in the waveguide. In some embodiments, the band-pass filter is an E-plane filter. In some embodiments, the band-pass septum filter has a shorter length along an x-direction than a straight septum filter with the same performance.
Abstract: Managing storage volumes in a point-in-time copy cascade. The cascade includes a first source volume, a first target volume and a second target volume. The method detects a corruption of the first source volume and, if a first restoration of the first source volume from the first target volume is in progress, creates a third target volume from the second target volume and directs I/O operations for the first source volume to the third target volume. The first source volume is then restored from the third target volume.
