Abstract: An RC active filter device which is implemented with integrated circuit technology. Each RC filter element of the device has a distributed series resistance and a distributed shunt capacitance. The series resistance is formed by a strip of resistive material which overlies a resistive plate (or substrate) with an intervening insulating layer to form the shunt capacitance. The filter device can be designed to have a pass-band ripple response which is not affected by variation in nominal absolute resistance and capacitance values resulting from process spreads. These variations only stretch or compress the filter response along the frequency axis. The filter device comprises three RC filter elements and an operational amplifier. The RC filter elements nearest the operational amplifier determine a low pass band, while the input filter element prevents high frequency components outside the low pass band being leaked directly to the filter device output.

Abstract: A building block resonator is fabricated using a single chemically milled copper pattern and two pieces of garnet material to form a quarter-wave transmission line which is shorted at one end. Tuning is achieved with an electromagnet by varying the static magnetic field perpendicular to the resonator which causes the permeability of the garnet material to change. Resonators formed in this manner can be cascaded in any number to form a multi-pole filter. Narrow band UHF filters (0.5 percent 3 dB bandwidth at 225-400 megahertz) can be built in a very compact form. The magnetic tuning field intensities used are above the saturation point of the garnet, and high power level operation devoid of non-linear effects is possible.
