Abstract
A dual-band filter providing a bandpass characteristic over a first predetermined range of frequencies, and a notch, or band-reject characteristic over a second predetermined range of frequencies. In one embodiment, the notch characteristic occurs within the bandpass characteristic, yielding a filter frequency response with two asymmetric passbands separated by a reject band. This is particularly suited to cellular Band A receive filter applications, but the design is easily adapted to other uses. Appropriate tuning can restore symmetry to the passbands.
