Waveguide Design Resources

A waveguide is a structure which guides waves, such as electromagnetic waves or sound waves. There are different types of waveguide for each type of wave.

Waveguides can be constructed to carry waves over a wide portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, but are especially useful in the microwave and optical frequency ranges. Depending on the frequency, they can be constructed from either conductive or dielectric materials. Waveguides are used for transferring both power and communication signals. - Wikipedia

Guided Wave Technology's Coupling Matrix Synthesis (CMS) tool facilitates synthesis of N+2 coupling matrices for Chebyshev bandpass filtering functions, with arbitrary finite-position transmission zeroes.


The CMS tool gives a fast and accurate
overview of:


   ● Filter orders up to 12
   ● Arbitrary placement of transmission zeroes
   ● Complex transmission zeroes
   ● Extended parameter plotting options
   ● S-parameter file (s2p) generation
   ● Topology matrix definition of filter circuits
   ● Advanced graph and marker functions
   ● Easily re-scalable axes
   ● Excellent overview - input/output together
   ● Saving and loading of designs
   ● Fast response
   ● Integrated manual
   ● Intuitive and very user friendly interface

Guided Wave Technology is a microwave filter R&D company, specialized in development and production of passive filter prototypes and series.
