The passband frequency response of the quarter wavelength side-coupled ring resonator can be tuned by adding capacitances along ring. Synthesis has been developed to define capacitor value used so as move central desired value. As shift affects matching level inductance-based network was used, and with inductance determined using specific synthesis. These concepts were validated through experiments for filters which components realized stubs.
