This article proposes, for the first time, a general condition for the ladder network prototype with equally terminated resistances. A rigorous proof of this theorem is provided. Three fourth‐order examples are subsequently given to illustrate and verify the proposed theorem. The prototype network is then applied to shunt‐stub lowpass filters. An experimental validation is finally provided to prove the validity of the proposed theorem. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 58:2833–2836, 2016
