Miniaturisation of combline filters for switched-mode power amplifier systems Dept. for RF and Microwave Techniques, Technische Universität Ilmenau, Ilmenau, Germany Abstract. This paper presents a coaxial combline filter for a class-S power amplifier for an operating frequency of 450 MHz. According to the measurement results, the filter provides a bandwidth of 26 MHz, an insertion loss of 0.55 dB, and a second pass-band only at 2.8 GHz. As the filter dimensions are crucial for the envisaged application, different ways to miniaturise the filter are proposed and their features and disadvantages discussed.
