Abstract
There has been a tremendous growth in the computer, television and RADAR fields. As a result, demands on the components that give time control over pulse information have led to the development of a great variety of delay lines. Delay lines are used in the systems that relate electrical information to time like computers, television, telemetering systems, guiding missiles, navigating systems, identifying coders and decoders, radar systems and video tape recorders are typical systems that use delay lines. Delay lines are also used in electronic objects for making decision point, in sound reinforcements. In a delay network, for a given bandwidth, the amount of delay increases as the order increases. Therefore we propose an idea of optimizing the poles of the filter in order to get more delay over a given order and bandwidth.
