Design and development of end-coupled bandpass filter using half wave-length resonator filters

Abstract

Filters are essential to the operation of this technology. There are various topologies to implement microstrip bandpass filters such as end-coupled, parallel-coupled, hairpin, interdigital and combline filters. This thesis discusses design, simulation and analysis of end-coupled bandpass filter by using microstrip technology. In this report, the end-coupled filter topology is discussed and this filter is designed at center frequency of 6 GHz. This frequency is presenting for satellite transmitter application. The explanation details for design procedure,simulated results, methods and techniques are discussed in this report.
