Grand Avenue, Suite 430, El Segundo, CA 90245 USA. http://www.mwoffice.com/ The design of printed filters, which perform close to their modelled specifications, can be a difficult and time consuming process using traditional methods. This application note shows a straightforward and largely non-mathematical method of tackling this problem using Microwave Office (MWO) assuming little or no knowledge of filter design. A basic familiarity with the operation of MWO is assumed. Microstrip filters are the examples shown, but the same……
