A bandpass filter has a combline structure having a plurality of cascaded nodes. A plurality of nodes in the filter are connected both to resonant elements (a.k.a. resonators) and non-resonant elements (including elements having inductances and/or capacitances that do not resonate in a predetermined frequency band of interest). The resonant frequencies of the resonant elements may be adjusted, in order to adjust the location of the center frequency and/or the width of the passband of the filter. The characteristics of the resonant and non-resonant elements are selected such that the poles of the filter, when plotted on the complex plane, move substantially along the imaginary axis when the resonant frequencies are adjusted, without substantial movement along the real axis. The resulting bandpass filter has substantially constant losses and substantially constant absolute selectivity over a relatively wide range of bandwidths.
