Abstract: An intermediate-band, low-transient crystal filter utilizing standard components. The filter is characterized by improved response and temperature stability and a size which is smaller than presently used LC filters, helical filters and wide-band crystal filters. This is achieved by an unusual partitioning of a low-pass prototype ladder network which yields a cascade of symmetric lattice sections and, hence, a realizable crystal filter. The cascade is composed of only two fundamental sections.
