Abstract
A ceramic block filter is designed with a shunt transmission line to attenuate third harmonics. A metallized belt is printed on the top surface of the filter along its edges so that it is connected to the metallized ground of the side surfaces. Along one edge an unmetallized line is left along one edge of the filter, whose ends are grounded. The unmetallized line is designed with a length greater than one-half of the length of the metallized belt, but smaller than the length of the metallized belt. The length and width of the unmetallized line are design choices for the specific frequencies sought to be attenuated.
