Advanced Design Techniques and Realizations of Microwave and RF Filters / Wiley - IEEE Bd.1 (PDF)

The fundamentals needed to design and realize microwave and RF
filters.

Microwave and RF filters play an important role in communication
systems and, owing to the proliferation of radar, satellite, and
mobile wireless systems, there is a need for design methods that
can satisfy the ever-increasing demand for accuracy, reliability,
and shorter development times.

Beginning with a brief review of scattering and chain matrices,
filter approximations and synthesis, waveguides and transmission
lines, and fundamental electromagnetic equations, the book then
covers design techniques for microwave and RF filters operating
across a frequency range from 1 GHz to 35 GHz.

Each design chapter:

* Is dedicated to only one filter and is organized by the type of
filter response

* Provides several design examples, including the analysis and
modeling of the structures discussed and the methodologies
employed

* Offers practical information on the actual performance of the
filters and common difficulties encountered during construction

* Concludes with the construction technique, pictures of the
inside and outside of the filter, and the measured performances

Advanced Design Techniques and Realizations of Microwave and RF
Filters is an essential resource for wireless and telecommunication
engineers, as well as for researchers interested in current
microwave and RF filter design practices. It is also appropriate as
a supplementary textbook for advanced undergraduate courses in
filter design.
