In this chapter on passive filters, we deal with the design of one-port networks composed exclusively of passive elements such as resistors R, inductors L, capacitors C, and coupled inductors M. The one-ports are specified by their driving-point immittances, impedances, or admittances. Our basic problem is that given an immittance function, is it possible to find a one-port composed only of R, L, C, and M elements called the RLCM one-port network that realizes the given immittance function? This is known as the realizability problem, and its complete solution was first given by Brune [1].
