Reflectionless low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, band-stop, all-pass, and all-stop filters, as well as a method for designing such filters is disclosed, along with a method of enhancing the performance of such filters through the use of sub-networks to further modify and improve the frequency response. These filters preferably function by absorbing the stop-band portion of the spectrum rather than reflecting it back to the source, which has significant advantages in many different applications. The sub-networks preferably offer additional degrees of freedom by which the leakage through the parent filter may be cancelled or reinforced to alter cutoff sharpness, stop-rejection, or other measures of performance.

Filter circuits having a resonator-based filter and a magnetically-coupled filter are disclosed. A filter circuit is deployed with a resonator-based passband filter connected to a magnetically-coupled filter which mitigates or reduces flyback of the resonator-based filter. The magnetically-coupled filter can be a passband filter with a relatively low insertion loss. The magnetically-coupled filter can be designed to mitigate flyback of the resonator-based filter by attenuating frequency response at selected frequency ranges.

A high-frequency filter coupled between an input-output terminal and another input-output terminal includes series arm resonators, parallel arm resonators, and an inductor defining an LC resonant circuit. Frequencies at a first attenuation pole defined by resonant frequencies or anti-resonant frequencies of the series arm resonators and the parallel arm resonators and a frequency at a second attenuation pole defined by a resonant frequency of the LC resonant circuit are included in one stop band of the high-frequency filter, and the frequencies at the first attenuation pole are located closer than the frequency at the second attenuation pole to a pass band of the high-frequency filter.

A multilayer fringe capacitor includes first and second interdigitated capacitor electrodes, both parallel to and intersecting a first planar surface; third and fourth interdigitated capacitor electrodes, the first and second electrodes parallel to and separated by a non-zero distance from the third and fourth electrodes; a first set of coupling vias that electrically couples the first electrode to the third electrode; and a second set of coupling vias that electrically couples the second electrode to the fourth electrode.

An LC circuit includes a first capacitor provided between a first connection point and a second connection point, a second capacitor provided between the second connection point and a third connection point, a third capacitor provided between the third connection point and a fourth connection point, a fourth capacitor provided between the first connection point and the third connection point, a fifth capacitor provided between the second connection point and the fourth connection point, a first inductor connected to the second connection point, and a second inductor connected to the third connection point.

A termination/attenuation network applies to an input of a set-top box a MOCA channel signal having a narrow band of frequencies and included in RF signals having a wide band of frequencies received via a cable from a satellite antenna. The network includes a pair of series resistors and a parallel resistor coupled to a junction terminal between the pair of series resistors in a T-shaped configuration. A series-pass band-pass filter (L1, C2) bypasses the pair of series resistors and a parallel band stop filter (L2, C1) decouples the parallel resistor at the frequency band of the MOCA channel signal for selectively reducing attenuation at the frequency band of the MOCA channel signal.

The network filtering circuit includes a cable side for connection with a network cable, a physical side for connection with a mother board, and a plurality of transmission channels connected between the cable side and the physical side. Each of the transmission channels includes a first transmission line and a second transmission line with a CMC linked therebetween. Two filtering (Y type) capacitors are further linked between the first transmission line and the second transmission line with a middle line connected between the two filtering capacitors and having an extension line wherein in such an extension line there are a resistor and an optional adjusting capacitor to a ground node at the end in series connection.

A low-pass filter includes first and second input/output ports, first and second LC parallel resonators connected in series and provided between the first and second input/output ports, and first to third paths. The first path includes a first LC series resonator and connects a first end of the first LC parallel resonator closest to the first input/output port to a ground. The second path includes a second LC series resonator and connects a second end of the second LC parallel resonator closest to the second input/output port to the ground. The third path includes a third-path capacitor and connects a connection point between the first and second LC parallel resonators to the ground.

A laminate defining a high-frequency laminated component includes a ground electrode on a bottom surface of a lowermost insulating layer. A second insulating layer includes an inner-layer ground electrode arranged over substantially the entire surface thereof. A portion from a third insulating layer to a fifth insulating layer is provided with a capacitor electrode defining a series capacitor of a ground impedance adjustment circuit and capacitor electrodes defining a first parallel capacitor and a second parallel capacitor. A sixth insulating layer has an inner-layer ground electrode provided over substantially the entire surface thereof. The inner-layer ground electrodes are arranged in electrical continuity with the ground electrode by via holes.

A low pass filter includes a first via-hole conductor connected to a first end portion of a first inductor and a third end portion of a second inductor and extending to another side in a lamination direction with respect to a second end portion of the first inductor and a fourth end portion of the second inductor, and a first capacitor electrically connected in parallel with at least a portion of the first inductor and a portion of the second inductor and defined by a first capacitor conductor layer. The low pass filter allows the interval between attenuation poles to be easily adjusted.
