Topic 3 - Filters
In this section we study the most important microwave filter topologies and characteristics, as well as their implementation. Prepare for this lesson and the homework assignements by reading only Sections 8.3, 8.4, 8.6, and 8.7 from Chapter 8 in the course book (3rd or 4th
ed.), which describes in large detail the most popular microwave filter-design strategies and their main characteristics, along with practical
implementations using parallel stubs, coupled lines, or lumped
components..
Lecture slides from April 4-7, on filter characteristics, filter prototypes, filter design-frequency scaling, practical filter realisations such as coupled line and stepped impedance filters.

An interesting Application Note demonstrating the coupled-line filter design discussed in class.
