[Legacy Report] Modern Methods for Microwave Filter Synthesis

---

The lecture for the DML tour will focus on the coupling matrix and the many opportunities for advanced microwave filter design that it opens up. Although there are a number of commercial software tools available for the design of such filters, they are often applied without proper understanding of the fundamentals involved or awareness of alternative designs better suited to the specifications in hand, resulting in a device which is sub-optimal in terms of electrical and mechanical performance. The younger upcoming designers tend to rely on these packages, largely due to a scarcity of reference works and journal articles on the subject of modern filter network synthesis methods.


The DML lecture will aim at bringing these state-of-the-art filter synthesis methods to microwave equipment designers, presenting the possibilities that have now become available for meeting the very stringent specifications that are demanded by modern telecommunication, broadcast, radar and scientific/earth observation satellite systems. The lectures will be presented in a style that minimizes mathematics and jargon as far as possible in order to appeal to multi-discipline audiences.
