Filters are ubiquitous components in high frequency electronic systems. Jokingly known as the RF engineers’ bandage’’, RF and microwave filters find use in band/channel selection, image rejection, anti-aliasing, and pretty much anywhere undesired signals need to be eliminated. This course intends to provide a thorough and up-to-date overview of the design theories and implementation techniques for RF and microwave filters. The targeted audience is senior undergraduate students and graduate students with a basic background in circuit analysis and RF engineering.

The topics covered in this course include:

• Review of network analysis and synthesis techniques
• Filter approximations and prototype synthesis
• Frequency and impedance transformations
• Coupled resonator filters and the coupling matrix
• Design of microstrip and waveguide filters
• Mechanical and micro-mechanical filters
• Tunable filters and wide-band filters
