| | Filter design - RF Cafe Forums |
Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would
be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate
that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views.
It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if
you would like to post something on RF Cafe's
Facebook page, please do.
Below are all of the forum threads, including all
the responses to the original posts.

Hi all,
I have one doubt regarding filter design for mobile phones, commonly it can be done by shebyshev design, however is it possible to do by microstrip filter design? Am I right to say that the difference between those 2 is chebyshev design using lumped components? :?:
and I guess that the microstrip filters are better using for this condition, especially at high frequency operation?
Looking forward for your advice.
Thank you for enlighten me..
Best Regards, Jean :D

A microstrip filter is perfectly possilbe at 900 MHz, but it is not used in mobile phones because it would be very large. There are techniques for miniturising microstrip filters, but it would still be impractical for handset use.
The filters used in mobile phone handsets are generally coupled ceramic resonators or SAWs, which are cheap, small and have relatively good selectivity.
Microstrip filters are designed using the same prototypes (chebyshev, butterworth etc) as lumped element designs. The Richards transform is used to translate lumped elements into lines.
If you have interest in this area, I recommend the following books: Microwave Engineering - DM Pozar ISBN 0471170968 Microstrip Filters - Hong & Lancaster ISBN 0471388777

Any topology that can be used for lumped elements can be used for microstrip elements, the difference is only in the implementation. Microstrip filters are indeed too big for using them in mobile handsets, but they are often used in RF boards for cellular/GSM frequncies.
