Abstract

A method includes receiving a radio frequency (RF) input signal using at least one non-reciprocal circulator. The method also includes generating an RF output signal using at least one of multiple reflective filter elements. Each reflective filter element is configured to receive an RF signal from the at least one non-reciprocal circulator and to provide a filtered RF signal to the at least one non-reciprocal circulator. The reflective filter elements include amplitude change reflectors configured to modify amplitudes of the RF signal at different frequencies. The RF output signal represents the RF input signal as modified by the at least one of the reflective filter elements.
