Band-Pass Filter Design Example

Attenuation response
of a third-order 3-dB
ripple bandpass
Chebyshev filter
centered at 2.4 GHz.
The lower cut-off
frequency is f L = 2.16
GHz and the upper cut-
off frequency is f U =
2.64 GHz.

RF/µW Stripline Filters
• Filter components become impractical at
frequencies higher than 500 MHz
• Can apply the normalized low pass filter
tables for lumped parameter filters to
stripline filter design
• Richards Transformation and Kuroda’s
Identities are used to convert lumped
parameter filter designs to distributed filters

Richards Transformation:
Lumped to Distributed Circuit Design
• Open- and short-circuit transmission line
segments emulate inductive and capacitive
behavior of discrete components
• Based on: Z in = jZ o tan ( β l ) = jZ o tan (θ )
• Set Electrical Length l = λ/8 so

Richards Transformation:

Realizations of Distributed Filters
• Kuroda’s Identities use redundant
transmission line sections to achieve
practical microwave filter implementations
• Physically separates line stubs
• Transforms series stubs to shunt stubs or
vice versa
• Change practical characteristic impedances
into realizable ones

EEE 194RF_L19 9
Filter Realization Procedure
• Select normalized filter parameters to meet
specifications
• Replace L’s and C’s by λo /8 transmission
lines

Kuroda’s Identities
• Denormalize and select equivalent
microstriplines
