Understand the fundamentals of designing and realizing microwave and RF filters with the information in Advanced Design Techniques and Realizations of Microwave and RF Filters. Beginning with a brief review of scattering and chain matrices, filter approximations and synthesis, waveguides and transmission lines, and fundamental electromagnetic equations, this book covers design techniques for microwave and RF filters operating across a frequency range from 1 GHz to 35 GHz. Design techniques are explained in some detail, giving you a better understanding of how the technique originated, so that you can propose modifications to suit your needs.
