✦ Synopsis

This paper presents the results of an investigation on the steady-state and transient response characteristics of a new class of low-pass filters. The natural frequencies of the proposed filters all lie on catenary contours and the transmission zeros are all at infinity. This class of ladder filters has some useful transmission properties when both time and frequency domain considerations are important. The response characteristics of this class of filters are compared with those of the Butterworth and Thomson filters and the recent class of filters due

to MuUick. We show that this class has some advantages when the rise-time, overshoot, and 3db frequency of the magnitude response (with no frequency peaking) are all of importance simultaneously.
