Design of Microwave Filters

A survey of the major techniques used in the design of microwave filters is presented in this paper. It is shown that the basis for much fundamental microwave filter theory lies in the realm of lumped-element filters, which indeed are actually used directly for many applications at microwave frequencies as high as 18 GHz. Many types of microwave filters are discussed with the object of pointing...

Reconigurable Microwave Filters

Reconfigurable microwave filters make microwave transceivers adaptable to multiple bands of operation using a single filter, which is highly desirable in today’s communications with evermore growing wireless applications. Tunable filters can replace the necessity of switching between several filters to have more than one filter response by introducing tuning elements embedded into a filter topo...

Tunable Multiband Microwave Photonic Filters

The increasing demand for multifunctional devices, the use of cognitive wireless technology to solve the frequency resource shortage problem, as well as the capabilities and operational flexibility necessary to meet ever-changing environment result in an urgent need of multiband wireless communications. Spectral filter is an essential part of any communication systems, and in the case of multib...

Evolutionary Optimization of Microwave Filters

The optimization of circuits with the aim of improving performance, lowering costs, and more recently, to reduce the size and weight of electronic devices, among other objectives, has become a research field in the areas of mathematics and engineering around the world (Antoniou & Lu, 2007). The problem can be interpreted as: among all possible models for the circuit, considering topology and va...
