...Test setup problems are not restricted to high-frequency filters—measurements of the baseband Butterworth filters reported in [ 6 ] show a deviation from the ideal beyond a few megahertz, where the attenuation is greater than 70 dB. Usually, such problems are attributed to the “quality of the test setup”, implicitly assuming that the filter itself has no problems....
