Filter for 22.1 and 44.2MHz

We needed a filter for the 22.1MHz and 44.2MHz signals, and for this purpose we designed a top-coupled doublet filter.

Frequency Cs Cp Lt Rp Cc
44.2MHz (ideal component values) 15.02pF 54.78pF 180nH 4K 2.86pF
44.2MHz (closest real component values) 15pF 56pF 180nH 4.02K 2.7pF
22.1MHz (ideal component values) 42.43pF 236.86pF 180nH 2K 11.45pF
22.1MHz (closest real component values) 43pF 240pF 180nH 2K 12pF

Nb: These values are optimised for 50R characteristic impedance.

Evidently, there is only very subtle difference between optimal valued components and those commercially available.
