Abstract

This paper presents a new MATLAB-based microstrip filter design tool. Stepped-impedance resonator lowpass filter, parallel-coupled bandpass filter, and end-coupled bandpass filter are included. Circuit-theory based closed-form mathematical expressions are used, instead of rigorous electromagnetic analyses. This results in significant reduction in analytical effort, without substantially affecting the accuracy. The results are verified against results obtained using commercially available Ansoft simulation tool. The agreement between the two sets of results is good enough for all practical purposes.
