question about filter and resonator
For wide bandwidth you want a low loaded Q. This is the Q with input and output terminated in the design resistance, often 50 Ohms. To get the low loaded Q, you tightly couple into the resonator.
To get low insertion loss, you want a high unloaded Q. Unloaded Q is the Q of the resonator with no external coupling (in practice, very very light external coupling). The unloaded Q is determined by metal and dielectric loss around the resonator.
So for low insertion loss and wide bandwith, you want a high (unloaded) Q resonator to which you tightly couple input and output. The tight coupling give you low loaded Q and wide bandwidth.
So is it possible to achieve 3dB IL using resonators with unloaded Q of about 20?
