Abstract
Abstract The filter may be designed from a multiple section L-C Chebyshev low pass filter prototype and is of generally ridged filter construction. The distributed shunt capacitors in the ridged section are designed to support only one mode in both the passband and primary stop band. The series inductors are calculated in accordance with evanescent mode (below cut-off) operation.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
63 words
A waveguide low pass filter structure comprising sequential ridged waveguide capacitive and inductive sections wherein a shunt capacitance is associated with each ridge and a series inductance exists between ridges, said series inductances being selected for operation in the evanescent mode for the desired passband, and said shunt capacitance selected to support only one mode in both the passband and primary stop band.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
63 words
A waveguide low pass filter structure comprising sequential ridged waveguide capacitive and inductive sections wherein a shunt capacitance is associated with each ridge and a series inductance exists between ridges, said series inductances being selected for operation in the evanescent mode for the desired passband, and said shunt capacitance selected to support only one mode in both the passband and primary stop band.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
