RL and near zero Rs Nov 29^th, 2015, 7:52pm Most filter design handbooks are about filters with finite RL and RS. I am just wondering whether there is a cheat sheet to design filters with capacitive load and low impedance driver. Thanks, Neo

With zero Rs and infinite RL, you will have a lossless(=undamped) network with poles/zeros on the imaginary axis. One of the resistances has to be non-zero. In that case, you can design singly terminated ladder filters. Singly terminated prototypes are also available, or you can solve the nonlinear equations for the component values in matlab or a symbolic solver.

Thanks for pointing out this will make lossless network. I meant the source impedance should be quite low.

I tried to fine some singly terminated prototypes for LC ladders. Could you please suggest some good references?
