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.
