Hello
I want to start microwave filter design (1Ghz-10GHz) but I don't have any idea how can I start to learn and what should I read and practice with them?
if there is no problem could you introduce me some good books and reference?
which software Should I start with it? and which is best software?
Thank you
Hi, you can follow the following book:
MICROWAVE FILTERS, IMPEDANCE-MATCHING NETWORKS, AND COUPLING STRUCTURES
By GEORGE L. MATTHAEI, LEO YOUNG, E. M. T. JONES
Thank you dear catherine_smith
This book seems to be very old that cover new software in filter design but it is so old famous book.what is handbook in microwave filter design?
There isn't any "unique" book that covers all type of RFMW filter types.There are different sources for different kind of filter structures because lumped an distributed filter design techniques are pretty different.Therefore dedicated sources can be studied for each filter design target.
Also, a synthesize tool ( or more ) is recommended for quick and accurate filter designs.For instance "Nuhertz Filter Design Package" is quite good.Other RFMW simulation tools such as ADS, Nexxim have pretty accurate and practical filter design guides and tools.
Thanks dear friends
Could you introduce me some step by step books that I can follow them to improve my self in microwave filter design from basic principle to professional level ?
