\ R_{0}=\sqrt{L/C}     L=2R_{0}/\omega _{c} \ R_{0}=\sqrt{L/C}     L=R_{0}/2\omega _{c}
\ \omega _{c}=2/\sqrt{LC}     C=2/\omega _{c}R_{0} \ \omega _{c}=1/2\sqrt{LC}     C=1/2\omega _{c}R_{0}

L=\frac{2 R_{0}}{\omega_{c}}=11.94 \mu \mathrm{H}, \quad C=\frac{2}{R_{0} \omega_{c}}=2.122 \mathrm{nF}

. For the constant-k section

\ m=\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{f_{c}}{f_{\infty }} \right)^{2} }=0.2195,

 

\ \frac{mL}{2}=1.310\mu H,

 

\ mC = 465.8 pF,

 

\ \frac{1-m^{2}}{4m}L=12.94\mu H

For the m = 0.6 matching sections

\ \frac{mL}{2}=3.582\mu H,

 

\ \frac{mC}{2} = 636.5 pF,

 

\ \frac{1-m^{2}}{2m}L=6.368\mu H

The completed filter circuit is shown in Figure 8.19; the series pairs of inductors between the sections have been combined. Figure 8.20 shows the resulting frequency response for |S12|. Note the sharp dip at f = 2.05 MHz due to the m = 0.2195 section, and the pole at 2.50 MHz, which is due to the m = 0.6 matching sections.
