Abstract
A combination notch/bandpass filter uses first and second adjacently-located cavities in the conductive housing to respectively provide a tunable, first-stage notch filter and a second-stage bandpass filter. An opening in a wall provides a passage for energy from the first cavity to the second cavity. In the first cavity, a resonator is located adjacent the opening, along with a notch-filter tuning member having one end arranged opposite the resonator and spaced therefrom by a distance to permit the wide end of a coupler to be suspended therebetween. An elongated portion of the coupler carries filtered energy from the first cavity to the second cavity.
