This invention features an absorptive tunable bandstop filter with a wide tuning range including first and second branches of all-pass filter networks, an input power divider for splitting the input signal and passing approximately half of the input signal power through each branch of the all-pass filter networks, and an output power combiner for recombining the signal power from each branch of the all-pass filter networks, at least one of the branches of the all-pass filter networks being electrically tunable to provide an approximately 180° phase difference with similar amplitudes of the split signal power to be recombined at the output power combiner for rejecting but substantially absorbing selected frequencies.

A system is provided for generating multiple frequencies in a specified frequency band, with a specified step size between frequencies, in which the spectral purity of the frequencies is assured. The switching speed between frequencies is very fast, limited only by the speed of the switches used. In one embodiment, only five tones are generated as the base for the rest of the synthesis, in which the relationship of the five tones is f0+/−⅛f0 and +/−{fraction (1/16)}f0. The subject system in one embodiment, utilizes a channel synthesizer and a doppler offset synthesizer which may be utilized in air defense systems for generating the transmit channels to be able to permit a missile seeker to transmit a signal at the appropriate frequency. In one embodiment, spectral purity is achieved by providing a number of stages of up converting, expanding, and dividing down of an input signal.
