MTT-8: Filters and Passive Components
This course will present design basics for passive RF and microwave filters. Included will be discussions of performance parameters, types of filter responses, estimating filter performance, characteristics of various filter technologies, specifying filters realistically to avoid surprises, and use of filter design software. Specific filter topics will include doubly-terminated two-port network chain parameters and scattering parameters; lowpass and highpass ladder networks and Chebyshev filter; immittance inverters and transformation to bandpass and bandstop coupled-resonator prototypes; narrow-band design using coupling bandwidth and loading bandwidth; relation of resonator Q, delay and loss, and effect of lossy coupling; TEM coupled line pair equivalent circuits; TEM resonator, combline and interdigital bandpass filters; TEM resonator bandstop filters; waveguide resonator bandpass filters; general coupled-resonator prototype; loss approximation, the elliptic function filter and approximate formulas; realization polynomials and immittances; bandpass filters with single negative or positive cross coupling; dual mode n = 4 and n = 8 filters; environmental effects on filter performance.
