INTRODUCTION
  • DEFINITIONS CLASIFICATIONS OF MICROWAVE FILTERS
  • FREQUENCY RANGE 200MHZ TO 90 GHZ
  • LOW FREQUENCY TECHNIQUES THEIR LIMTATIONS
  • AT HIGHER FREQUENCIES OPTICAL TECHNIQUES THEIR
    LIMITATIONS
  • CLASIFICATION BY TYPE (LP, HP, BP, BS)
  • CLASIFICATION BY FRACTIONAL B.W.
  • CLASIFICATION BY TRANSIMISSION MEDIUM

3
LOWER FREQUENCY TECHNIQUES LIMITATIONS
  • LOW FREQUENCIES ARE DEFINED TO BE BELOW _at_ 200 MHZ
  • LUMPED ELEMENT SIZES (R, L, C) BECOME COMPARABLE
    TO WAVELENGTH
  • RADIATION FROM ELEMENTS CAUSES UNDESIRABLE
    EFFECTS
  • INCREASED LOSSES
  • WIRE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN ELEMENTS BECOME PART OF
    CIRCUIT (PARASETICS)
  • SOURCES MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES ARE UNSUITABLE
    AT HIGHER FREQUENCY

  • P 0.225 - 0.39 LOWER
  • L 0.39 - 1.55 R.F. BAND
  • S 1.55 - 3.90
  • C 3.90 - 6.20 MICROWAVE
  • X 6.20 - 10.9 BANDS
  • K 10.9 - 36.0
  • Q 36.0 - 46.0 MILLIMETER

  • ELLIPTIC FUNCTION OR QUASIELLIPTIC FUNCTION
    (EQUAL RIPPLE IN BOTH PASS BAND AND STOP BAND)

CLASSIFICATION BY FRACTIONAL BAND WIDTH
  • NARROW BAND FILTERS RELATIVE (bw/fo) BANDWIDTHS
    LESS THAN _at_ 5
  • MODERATE BAND WIDTH RELATIVE BANDWIDTHS
    BETWEEN _at_ 5 TO 25
  • WIDE BAND FILTERS RELATIVE BANDWIDTHS GREATER
    THAN 25
  • TECHNIQUES USED FOR DESIGN OF EACH TYPE DIFFER
    SIGNIFICANTLY

HOW TO SPECIFY FILTERS
  • FREQUENCY SPECS f0 BW (FOR B.P. OR B.S.), fc
    (FOR L.P. OR H.P.)
  • PASS BAND INSERTION LOSS, RETURN LOSS AND
    FLATNESS (RIPPLE LEVEL)
  • PASS BAND GROUP DELAY VARIATION
  • SELECTIVITY OR SKIRT SHARPNESS
  • OUT OF BAND REJECTION LEVELS
  • SPURIOUS OUT OF BAND RESPONSE
  • SPECIFICATIONS MASK

HOW TO SPECIFY FILTERS(ctd.)
  • POWER HANDLING CAPABLITY
  • MULTIPACTOR EFFECTS VOLTAGE BREAKDOWN
  • ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIFICATIONS
  • OPERATIONAL TEMPERATUE LIMITS

METHODS OF FILTER DESIGN
  • 1. IMAGE PARAMETER METHOD (EARLY 1920S)
  • BASED ON A WAVE VIEWPOINT OF CIRCUITS

IMAGE PARAMETER FILTERS DESIGN
  • PIECE TOGETHER ENOUGH CONSTANT-K M-DERIVED
    SECTIONS TO MEET REQUIRED ATTENUATION
  • TERMINATION WILL BE DIFFERENT FROM THE IMAGE
    IMPEDANCE
  • END SECTIONS ARE DESIGNED TO IMPROVE MATCH

2. INSERTION LOSS THEORY SYNTHESIS (DARLINGTON,
1939)
  • SPECIFY TRANSFER FUNCTION OF COMPLEX FREQ.
    SATISFYING REALIZABILITY CONDITIONS
  • FIND INPUT IMPEDANCE OR REFLECTION COEFFICIENT
    FROM TRANSFER FUNCTION
  • DECOMPOSE TRANSFER FUNCTION REFL. COEEF. TO TWO
    CASCADED PARTS
  • A PART CORRESPONDING TO A SIMPLE SECTION OF KNOWN
    PARAMETRS
  • A PART OF LOWER ORDER THAN THE ORIGINAL TRANSFER
    FUNCTION ALSO SATISFYING REALIZABILITY CONDITIONS
  • REPEAT SYNTHESIS CYCLE UNTILL REMAINING SECTION
    IS OF ZERO ORDER (CONSTANT TERMINATION)
  • COMMON METHODS ARE CASCADE SYNTHESIS, PARTIAL AND
    CONTINUOUS FRACTION EXPANSIONS.

3. COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION
  • START BY SPECIFICATIONS OF DESIRED RESPONSE OVER
    A BAND OF FREQUENCIES AND A GIVEN NETWORK OF
    ELEMENTS OF KNOWN (ASSUMED) STARTING VALUES
  • ANALYZE THE NETWORK TO FIND ITS RESPONSE OVER
    THE SPECIFIED FREQUENCY BAND
  • COMPARE THE CALCULATED RESPONSE TO THE DESIRED
    RESPONSE BY FORMING AN ERROR FUNCTION
  • CHANGE THE ELEMENT VALUES OF THE NETWORK (WITHIN
    CERTAIN BOUNDS) ACCORDING TO CERTAIN PRESCRIBED
    RULES TO MINIMIZE THE ERROR FUNCTION
  • ITERATE THE PROCESS UNTILL THE ERROR FUNCTION IS
    REDUCED TO ZERO, DOES NOT DECREASE IN SUCCESSIVE
    ITERATIONS OR A PRESPECIFIED NUMBER OF ITERATIONS
    IS EXCEEDED
