Advanced Design Techniques and Realizations of Microwave and RF Filters

This book provides readers with the knowledge and skills to design and realize microwave and RF filters, as well as the numerous approaches for solving the filter design problem. Each chapter concerning the design of a microwave filter starts with a characterization of the elements in the microwave structure and choices and assumptions leading to each design technique are explained in some detail. This approach gives readers a better understanding of how the design technique came about, so that they will be able to propose modifications to suite their own needs.
