Istvan, no this would be a multi-pole filter with distinct group delay 
variations for specific frequencies.  For a fixed and well known 
waveguide,  a specifically designed SAW filter might be useful.  One might 
intuitively look at this as sort of an up-chirp filter.  The TDM image 
would be a run-length limited NRZ source.

Regards,


Steve.
