EE 414/514 Microwave Engineering: Lecture 21: Filters

This document discusses a lecture on microwave filters given by Nathan Neihart at Iowa State University. It reviews different types of filters from the previous lecture. It then discusses the parameters needed to design a filter, including presenting the low-pass prototype filter. Finally, it provides examples of scaling a 3rd order Butterworth and Chebyshev filter to operate at 50 ohm terminations with a cutoff frequency of 100 rad/s using the low-pass prototype filter.

Discussed different types of filters
Butterworth
Chebyshev
Elliptical
Discussed time delay of a circuit
Be aware of phase wrapping
Network analyzers often give differential time delay
Demonstrated that discrete components cannot be used to build
filters at microwave frequencies
Primarily due to parasitics
