5.FILTER DESIGNING USING STEPPED

IMPEDANCE METHOD
AIM:
To design a low pass maximally flat 5th order filter having a passband
of 0-3GHz and attenuation of 20db at 5GHz with characteristic impedance of
Zo=50ohm ,ZL=15ohm,ZH=120ohm and plot the insertion loss

TOOL USED:
AWR Microwave software

SPECIFICATIONS:
Zo=50 ohm

, Er=4.4

ZL=15 ohm

T=0.05 mm

ZH=120 ohm

H=0.8 mm

fC=3 GHz
order =5

Tand=0.002

(Electrical length)H=Gk*(ZO/ZH) ,
(Electrical length)L=Gk*(ZL/ZO)

INFERENCE:
At fc=3 GHz
S11= -2.9845 and
S21= -3.4852
RESULT:
Thus an maximally flat LPF with a 20db ripple attenuation at 5GHz is designed with
fc=3 GHz using stepped impedance method
