Course content

6 sections41 lectures6h 48m total length
  • Filters definition and its type7:44

    Explore RF filter design fundamentals using Keysight ADS, defining filters and their types, and applying low-pass, band-pass, and band-stop designs with software tools and transformations.

  • Low pass filter6:36

    Derive the first-order low-pass transfer function and its magnitude, showing h(jω)=1/(1+jω) yields unity gain at zero frequency and attenuation to zero at infinity, with a -3 dB cutoff.

  • Comparison of LPF Responses4:00

    Compare low-pass filter responses, highlighting Butterworth, equiripple, Bessel, and elliptical types, describing passband ripples, transition sharpness, and constant group delay.

  • Maximally flat butterworth LPF11:06

    Explore maximally flat Butterworth low-pass filters, understand their frequency response, and determine filter order from attenuation and the cutoff frequency using normalized prototype elements with impedance and frequency scaling.

  • Impedance scaling and frequency scaling3:29

    Apply impedance scaling and frequency scaling to adjust inductors and capacitors while preserving impedance, using L, C, and r naught relationships to guide rf filter design.

Requirements

  • RAHRF209-L Introduction to Keysight ADS
  • for practicing the simulation you should have Keysight ADS software which this course does not provide however Keysight provides 1 month free trial if you request for one.
