Synopsis

There have been significant advances in the synthesis and physical realization of microwave filter networks over the last three decades. This book provides a coherent and readable description of system requirements and constraints for microwave filters, fundamental considerations in the theory and design of microwave filters, up-to-date modern synthesis techniques with examples and technology considerations in the choice of hardware.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

An in-depth look at continuing advances in the field ofmicrowave filters—the basic building blocks of anycommunication system

There have been significant advances in the synthesis andphysical realization of microwave filter networks, but until now,no book has provided a coherent and readable description of systemrequirements and constraints, fundamental considerations in theoryand design, up-to-date synthesis techniques, or EM-based designtools. Microwave Filters for Communication Systems fills the needfor such a book, providing comprehensive coverage of microwavefilter design and applications for communication systems.

Distinct features of the book include:

• System considerations in filter design

• General formulation and synthesis of filter functions

• Synthesis techniques for low-pass prototype filters

• Application of modern EM-based design techniques

• Design and tradeoffs of various multiplexer configurations

• Computer-aided filter tuning

• High-power considerations for terrestrial and spaceapplications

This topical book provides students and practitioners with astrong theoretical understanding of filter design, as well as theEM-based tools being used in the optimization of microwave filterand multiplexing networks.
