**broken link removed**

It does a very good job of explaining the m-derived filter. If you read to the end of the document there are examples of value calculation in basic math. The start of the article gets into some heavier math, which will show how the characteristics of the design are derived, and are the most accurate way to do the math.

You could also try searching for Transmission Line Theory to get a better grasp of the math and how it is applied.
