The real frequency technique applied to the synthesis of MMIC active filters with attenuation poles at finite frequencies

This paper reports on several MMIC active filters designed by the real-frequency technique (RFT). RFT provides several advantages over most of the usual techniques: it does not require any active component model and no predetermined matching network topology is necessary.

Description
Summary:This paper reports on several MMIC active filters designed by the real-frequency technique (RFT). RFT provides several advantages over most of the usual techniques: it does not require any active component model and no predetermined matching network topology is necessary. The CAD procedure based on the RFT is introduced to resolve the input and output matching problems. The simulation results of two broadband microwave filters are presented and a practical design is proposed for a 7.7-8.1 GHz active filter with two transmission zeroes at 6.8 GHz and 9.2 GHz.
