Abstract
Abstract The variation in the external bandwidth of input and output resonators of YIG filters and of single resonator device, is corrected by means of frequency selective impedance transformers. The transformers are comprised of specific impedance transmission lines which may be incorporated as integral parts of the YIG filter RF circuit.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
A method for reducing the change in input and output resonator bandwidth of a loop coupled ferromagnetic resonator filter by compensating for variations in coupling over multi-octave tuning ranges comprising: determining the variation in bandwidth due to the coupling loop acting as a transmission line transformer transforming respective source or load admittance G o to an equivalent conductance G p ; determining bandwidth variation selectively as a function of frequency; and compensating said bandwidth variation with a frequency selective compensating transmission line providing a variation in bandwidth determined by said second step oppositely to and compensating said variation in bandwidth due to said coupling loop acting as a transmission line transformer, whereby to compensate coupling variation with frequency, and provide a substantially constant passband over multi-octave ranges.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
127 words
A method for reducing the change in input and output resonator bandwidth of a loop coupled ferromagnetic resonator filter by compensating for variations in coupling over multi-octave tuning ranges comprising: determining the variation in bandwidth due to the coupling loop acting as a transmission line transformer transforming respective source or load admittance G o to an equivalent conductance G p ; determining bandwidth variation selectively as a function of frequency; and compensating said bandwidth variation with a frequency selective compensating transmission line providing a variation in bandwidth determined by said second step oppositely to and compensating said variation in bandwidth due to said coupling loop acting as a transmission line transformer, whereby to compensate coupling variation with frequency, and provide a substantially constant passband over multi-octave ranges.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
132 words
A method for providing a change in input and output resonator bandwidth which changes at substantially the same rate as the change in bandwidth between adjacent resonators in a multi-loop coupled ferromagnetic resonator filter comprising: determining the variation in bandwidth between adjacent resonators due to the coupling loop acting as a transmission line transformer; determining bandwidth variation between adjacent resonators selectively as a function of frequency; and matching said bandwidth variation in input and output coupling with a frequency selective compensating transmission line providing a variation in bandwidth as a function of frequency determined by said second step to match said variation in bandwidth due to said coupling loop acting as a transmission line transformer, whereby to compensate coupling variation with frequency, and provide a substantially constant passband ripple over multi-octave ranges.
