a third-order 3-dB ripple

2.64 GHz.

RF/W Stripline Filters
• Filter components become impractical at
frequencies higher than 500 MHz
• Can apply the normalized low pass filter
tables for lumped parameter filters to
stripline filter design
• Richards Transformation and Kuroda’s
Identities are used to convert lumped
parameter filter designs to distributed filters

Richards Transformation:
Lumped to Distributed Circuit Design
• Open- and short-circuit transmission line
segments emulate inductive and capacitive
behavior of discrete components
• Based on: Zin  jZ o tan   l   jZ o tan  
• Set Electrical Length l = /8 so

Realizations of Distributed Filters
• Kuroda’s Identities use redundant
transmission line sections to achieve
practical microwave filter implementations
• Physically separates line stubs
• Transforms series stubs to shunt stubs or
vice versa
• Change practical characteristic impedances
into realizable ones
9
Filter Realization Procedure
• Select normalized filter parameters to meet
specifications
• Replace L’s and C’s by o /8 transmission
lines
• Convert series stubs to shunt stubs using
Kuroda’s Identities
• Denormalize and select equivalent
microstriplines
10
Filter Realization Example
• 5th order 0.5 dB ripple Chebyshev LPF
• g1 = g5 = 1.7058, g2 = g4 = 1.2296, g3 =
2.5408, g6 =1.0
11
• Y1 = Y5 = 1.7058, Z2 = Z4 = 1.2296, Y3
= 2.5408; and Z1 = Z5 = 1/1.7058, Z3 =
1/2.5408
12
• Utilizing Unit Elements to convert series
stubs to shunt stubs
13
• Apply Kuroda’s Identities to eliminate first
shunt stub to series stub
14
• Deploy second set of UE’s in preparation
for converting all series stubs to shunt stubs
15
• Apply Kuroda’s Identities to eliminate all
series stubs to shunt stubs
• Z1 = 1/Y1 =NZ2 = (1+Z2/Z1)Z2
=1+(1/0.6304); Z2 = 1 and Z1 = 0.6304

Lumped Parameter Band-Pass Filter
Design
Design an N=3 band-pass maximally flat
(Butterworth) filter with a center frequency
of 900 MHz. The Bandwidth of the filter is
20% ; That is, BW = (0.20)(900 MHz) =
1.8 MHz or 0.9 MHz.
From the Maximally Flat Low Pass Prototype
Table 5-2,
g0 = g4 = 1, g1 = g3 = 1, g2 = 2

Where the normalized center frequency is

c = 1, L = 1.1(2·900 MHz), and
U = 0.9(2·900 MHz)
So that U - L = 1.13Grad/s and
o   LU 5.627Grad/s

Some Observations On The Results
• Values of components are unreasonable
• Some other method for implementing the
filter design goals must be found
• Solution: Use distributed filters using
waveguides
