The invention relates generally to RF and microwave multiplexers implemented with a plurality of coupled resonators. More specifically, the present invention relates to multiplexers configured to require only a plurality of resonators and series , shunt, cross couplings and input/output couplings between them. It is a main featur e of the invention that no microwave dividers, combiners, circulators, or other junctions are necessary for the distribution of microwave energy among the coupled resonators. This is achieved for example by a P-channel multiplexer comprising P rows of coupled resonators, a common input terminal connected to the first resonator of at least one of said rows, and P channel output terminals connected with the la st resonator in each row, and at least one coupling between resonators belongin g to different rows.
