A Practical Design of Lumped, Semi-lumped & Microwave Cavity Filters

This book presents the application of microwave literature for designing lumped and semi-lumped filters and combline/iris-coupled microwave cavity filters. Conveys a clear understanding of the terms and characteristics of radio frequency (RF) filters.

This book presents the application of microwave literature for designing lumped/semi-lumped filters and combline/iris-coupled microwave cavity filters. It provides the physical understanding of the terms and characteristics of radio frequency (RF) filters. The book complements engineering text books on RF components and provides support for the project assignments of students. In addition to the functional design of RF filters, the integrated design approach for produceability and reliability is explained.

Physical understanding of RF terms is explained with practical examples Integrates reliability and produceability aspects with the functional design of RF filters Presents numerical techniques to convert the required design graphs into mathematical expressions and saving time Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
