Abstract: A phased-array antenna filter and diplexer for a super economical broadcast system are provided. The filter and diplexer includes a signal divider tee diplexer, a receive filter and a transmit filter. The diplexer includes a tee branch point, an antenna port, a transmit port and a receive port. The receive filter includes a flat, multi-pole bandpass filter, an input port and an output port, where the input port is coupled to the diplexer receive port to define a receive signal path, from the tee branch point to the receive input port, that has a length of approximately one quarter receive wavelength. The transmit filter includes a folded, multi-pole bandpass filter, an input port and an output port, where the output port is coupled to the diplexer transmit port to define a transmit signal path, from the tee branch point to the transmit output port, that has a length of approximately one quarter transmit wavelength.

Abstract: A filter includes a cross-coupling link which includes a crossbar, a first vertical support attached to one end of the crossbar, a second vertical support attached to another end of the crossbar, a first coupling arm attached to the first vertical support, a second coupling arm attached to the second vertical support, a first adjustable support attached to the first coupling arm at one end and grounded at another end, and a second adjustable support attached to the second coupling arm at one end and grounded at another end.
