Abstract

This work presents a straightforward way to obtain the coupling matrix of a bandstop filtering response from the original bandpass coupling matrix. The generated bandstop coupling matrix implements a response where the bandwidth is defined at the equiripple return loss of the lower and the upper passbands.
