6. LPF USING RICHARD


TRANSFORMATION METHOD
AIM:
To design a low pass filter for fabrication using micro strip lines ,the
specifications are cut off f=4Ghz,3rd order, impedance of 50 and a 3 dB ripple
characteristics
Design equations:n2 =1+Z2/Z1
n2 =1+1/3.3487=1.2986
Z0=1/c=1/0.7117=1.405
n2 *Z1 =1.298*3.34=4.34
1/ n2 *Z2 =1/1.298*1=0.77041

Substrate specifications:
Er=2.2
H=1.6mm
Tand=0.002
F=4 GHz
T=0.05 mm

RESULT:

S11=S22 , S12=S21
S112+S212=0.47578+0.47335=0.9491
The graphs of S11 and S21 intersect at the cut off frequency of 4 GHz and
their values at the cut off frequency are almost 3 dB
