不好意思,还是没看明白,不过还是谢谢你了.
by the two adjacent peaks of the transmission parameter. The final geometry is shown in Figure 1.

Instead of performing the optimization with the complete filter, the model was split up into several sub-sections. wWaveguide ports considering a sufficiently large number of modes are assigned at the intersections . CST MWS is used to compute the required S-parameters. Since the number of meshcells of the submodels is small compared to a complete model the runtimes are extremely short, thus the meshdensity can be increased to achieve higher accuracy. Since frequencies below cutoff are considered it is advisable to use the Frequency Domain solver within CST MWS: here the Model order Reduction solver (MOR) was used. Figure 3 illustrates this procedure: Only four submodels are required to describe the complete filter.
Figure 3: Definition of the sub-models: At the common interfaces between the sub-models waveguide ports are assigned (not shown here)
The sub-models are loaded into CST DS and linked together. The local sub-model parameters can be accessed and assigned to a global CST DS parameter. These parameters can be used in an optimization process. CST DS uses an interpolation scheme in order to avoid numerous recomputations of S-parameters for individual setups required by the optimizer.

In a next step, the length of the capacitive cross-coupling stub is enlarged to increase the coupling bandwidth for a quadruplet type behaviour described in [3] and [4].
Figure 6: Enlarging the length of the stub reinforces the coupling bandwidth
Figure 7: The transmission zeros are still in the upper stopband indicating that the coupling is too small. Shown here is also a comparison between a complete model and a sub-model result using CST DS
Finally, the cross-coupling is further increased, resulting in a symmetric location of the transmission zeros above and below the passband. The next two figures show the geometry and the respective S-parameters.

Figure 9: Results of the CST DS model: Two transmission zeros appear above and below passband. Adding a diagonally positioned coupling would allow a more symmetric rejection shape

Appendix:
A bandpass filter can simply be described by low-pass prototype LC elements and by coupling coefficients of the inverter coupled filter. Approximation techniques can be used to get good initial values of the lumped elements [4] to find an optimal overall performance in a consecutive optimization loop. The cross-couplings requires slight changes of the theoretical Chebychev values resulting in very small geometrical modifications. A The next figure shows the equivalent network including also a cross-coupling admittance inverter with a negative C across the nodes 2 and 5.
