                 Butterworth Normalized Lowpass Component Values

                       Butterworth  passive lowpass filters have a ladder network of  series inductors
                      with  shunt capacitors at their connection  nodes. The first component  in  this
                       ladder can be either a series inductor or a shunt capacitor; the following com-
                       ponents then alternate: for example, series L, shunt C, series L, shunt C, and so
                       on. This is shown in Figure 2.1 1.
