1) Find the Chebyshev order using formulas (9.16), (9.17), (9.18), and figure 9.

5:
f 0= f l f u =3 109 3.4 10 9 3.1937 GHz is the central frequency;
9 9
BW =f uf l=3.4 10 3 10 =0.4 GHz is the bandwidth;

f b=BW /f 0 =( 0.4 10 9 ) / ( 3.1937 109 ) 0.1252 is the fractional bandwidth.

In this case,
f 0 f f 0 3.1937 109 3.8 109 3.1937 109

= (
=
1 BW f 0 f )
0.4 109 3.1937 109
(
3.8 109
2.7895. )
Using the nomograph in figure 9.5, the resultant Chebyshev order is 4.
2) Find the element values for a Chebyshev low-pass prototype using table 9.2:
g1=1.3028,

g2=1.2844 ,

g3=1.9761 ,

g4 =0.8468 ,

g5=1.5386 .

3) Using formulas (9.21a) and (9.21b), perform band-pass transformation:
