Synthesis of a self-equalized dual-passband filter

This letter describes synthesis method for a self-equalized dual-passband filter. Compared to a conventional dual-passband filter, the self-equalized dual-passband filter can reduce bit-error rate (BER) in digital data communications and does not need an external equalizer for group delay equalization. To validate the synthesis method described in this letter, a 10-pole dual-passband filter which has two self-equalized five-pole elliptic-response passbands is synthesized.
