| Microstrip Tapped Line 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.

I am trying to design a band pass filter using Edge coupled tapped line structure. The inputs I have are impedances, Er, substrate information. I am not able to find out the way to calculate tapped point and tapped length using all these inputs. Is there any way to find out the tapped length and tapped point using ADS tool? If it is then how?

Wong. That article gives the design procedure and all the math behind selecting the tap point.

Then the tapping point is simply derived from the ratio of internal and external (50 ohm) impedance, the end-line characteristic Z, and the loaded Q of the input/output resonators. The formula is tap point = Len * ASIN(SQRT(PI*Zs/(4*Z0*Ql))) where len is the length of the end resonator, Zs is the internal impedance (100 ohm, 200 ohm or whatever) Z0 is the characteristic impedance of the end resonator in its geometric environment and Ql is the loaded Q of the end resonator, derived from graphs. The process is described in the RSGB Microwave Handbook, a 3 volume set. _________________ At bottom, life is all about Sucking in and blowing out. Posted 11/12/2012 | ||||||
