These graphs demonstrate the approximate relationships between 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 dB relative bandwidths to 3 dB relative bandwidths.

A= 2 sections
B= 3 sections
C= 4-6 sections
D= 4 sections
E= 5 sections
F= 6+ sections

This graph indicates the typical phase linearity filter performance. Example: a 6-section filter with a 1.5 dB insertion loss at center frequency typically exhibits a plus or minus 5-degree linearity over 71% of the 3 dB bandwidth. Note: For special ultraflat phase linear filters, consult factory. This graph indicates the effect of the number of sections and insertion loss on the relationship of 1.5:1 VSWR bandwidth to 3 dB relative bandwidth The 3 dB bandwidth is a minimum bandwidth. Typical bandwidth variation relative to manufacturing and materials tolerances can be defined by this graph.
Example:
Bandpass filter
Center frequency = 1000 MHz
3 dB bandwidth = 100 MHz
3 dB bandwidth % = 10%
Tolerance factor = 1.115

The 3 dB relative bandwidth could vary from 100 MHz to 111.5 MHz.
