2 .0 Basic Filter Theory August by Fabian Kung Wai Lee 3 Introduction An ideal filter is a linear -port network that provides perfect transmission of signal for frequencies in a certain passband region, infinite attenuation for frequencies in the stopband region and a linear phase response in the passband (to reduce signal distortion). The goal of filter design is to approximate the ideal requirements within acceptable tolerance with circuits or systems consisting of real components. August by Fabian Kung Wai Lee 4
3 Categorization of Filters Low-pass filter (LPF), High-pass filter (HPF), Bandpass filter (BPF), Bandstop filter (BSF), arbitrary type etc. In each category, the filter can be further divided into active and passive types. In active filter, there can be amplification of the of the signal power in the passband region, passive filter do not provide power amplification in the passband. Filter used in electronics can be constructed from resistors, inductors, capacitors, transmission line sections and resonating structures (e.g. piezoelectric crystal, Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) devices, and also mechanical resonators etc.). Filter Active filter may contain transistor, FET and Op-amp. LPF HPF BPF Active Passive Active Passive August by Fabian Kung Wai Lee 5 Filter s Frequency esponse () Frequency response implies the behavior of the filter with respect to steady-state sinusoidal excitation (e.g. energizing the filter with sine voltage or current source and observing its output). There are various approaches to displaying the frequency response: Transfer function H() (the traditional approach). Attenuation factor A(). S-parameters, e.g. s (). Others, such as ABCD parameters etc. August by Fabian Kung Wai Lee 6 3

Z o August by Fabian Kung Wai Lee 3 Our Scope Only concentrate on passive LC and stripline filters. Filter synthesis using the Insertion Loss Method (ILM). The Image Parameter Method (IPM) is more efficient and suitable for simple filter designs, but has the disadvantage that arbitrary frequency response cannot be incorporated into the design. August by Fabian Kung Wai Lee 4 7
8 .0 Passive LC Filter Synthesis Using Insertion Loss Method August by Fabian Kung Wai Lee 5 Insertion Loss Method (ILM) The insertion loss method (ILM) allows a systematic way to design and synthesize a filter with various frequency response. ILM method also allows filter performance to be improved in a straightforward manner, at the expense of a higher order filter. A rational polynomial function is used to approximate the ideal H(), A() or s (). Phase information is totally ignored. Ignoring phase simplified the actual synthesis method. An LC network is then derived that will produce this approximated response. Here we will use A() following []. The attenuation A() can be cast into power attenuation ratio, called the Power Loss atio, P L, which is related to A(). August by Fabian Kung Wai Lee 6 8
9 More on ILM There is a historical reason why phase information is ignored. Original filter synthesis methods are developed in the 90s-60s, for voice communication. Human ear is insensitive to phase distortion, thus only magnitude response (e.g. H(), A()) is considered. Modern filter synthesis can optimize a circuit to meet both magnitude and phase requirements. This is usually done using computer optimization procedures with goal functions.

The requirement is P() must be either odd or even function. Among the classical polynomial functions are: Maximally flat or Butterworth functions. Equal ripple or Chebyshev functions.

13 Low-Pass Prototype Design () A lossless linear, passive, reciprocal network that can produce the insertion loss profile for Low-Pass Filter is the LC ladder network. Many researchers have tabulated the values for the L and C for the Low-Pass Filter with cut-off frequency c = ad/s, that works with source and load impedance Z s = Z L = Ohm. This Low-Pass Filter is known as the Low-Pass Prototype (LPP). As the order N of the polynomial P increases, the required element also increases. The no. of elements = N. L =g L =g 4 C =g C =g 3 L = g N+ g 0 = L =g L =g 3 C =g C =g 4 L = g N+ Dual of each other August by Fabian Kung Wai Lee 5 Low-Pass Prototype Design () The LPP is the building block from which real filters may be constructed. Various transformations may be used to convert it into a high-pass, band-pass or other filter of arbitrary center frequency and bandwidth. The following slides show some sample tables for designing LPP for Butterworth and Chebyshev amplitude response of P L. See Chapter 3 of Hunter [4], on how the LPP circuits and the tables can be derived. August by Fabian Kung Wai Lee 6 3

Furthermore the LPP can be mapped to other filter types such as highpass, bandpass and bandstop (see [] and [3] for the derivation and theories). This frequency scaling and transformation entails changing the value and configuration of the elements of the LPP. Finally the impedance presented by the filter at the operating frequency can also be scaled, from unity to other values, this is called impedance denormalization. Let Z o be the new system impedance value. The following slide summarizes the various transformation from the LPP filter. August by Fabian Kung Wai Lee 34 7

[3] August by Fabian Kung Wai Lee 37 Filter vs Impedance Transformation Network If we ponder carefully, the sharp observer will notice that the filter can be considered as a class of impedance transformation network. In the passband, the load is matched to the source network, much like a filter. In the stopband, the load impedance is highly mismatched from the source impedance. However, the procedure described here only applies to the case when both load and source impedance are equal and real. August by Fabian Kung Wai Lee 38 9

26 3. Basic Approach August by Fabian Kung Wai Lee 5 Filter ealization Using Distributed Circuit Elements () Lumped-element filter realization using surface mounted inductors and capacitors generally works well at lower frequency (at UHF, say < 3 GHz). At higher frequencies, the practical inductors and capacitors loses their intrinsic characteristics. Also a limited range of component values are available from manufacturer. Therefore for microwave frequencies (> 3 GHz), passive filter is usually realized using distributed circuit elements such as transmission line sections. Here we will focus on stripline microwave circuits. August by Fabian Kung Wai Lee 5 6
27 Filter ealization Using Distributed Circuit Elements () ecall in the study of Terminated Transmission Line Circuit that a length of terminated Tline can be used to approximate an inductor and capacitor. This concept forms the basis of transforming the LC passive filter into distributed circuit elements. l Z c, β l Z c, β L C Z o Z c, β Z o Z o Z c, β Z c, β Z o August by Fabian Kung Wai Lee 53 Filter ealization Using Distributed Circuit Elements (3) This approach is only approximate. There will be deviation between the actual LC filter response and those implemented with terminated Tline. Also the frequency response of distributed circuit filter is periodic. Other issues are shown below. How do we implement series Tline connection? (only practical for certain Tline configuration) Z o Z c, β Connection of physical length cannot be ignored at microwave region, comparable to λ Thus some theorems are used to facilitate the transformation of LC circuit into stripline microwave circuits.

Since a microstrip tline with low Z c is wide and a tline with high Z c is narrow, the transformation from circuit to physical layout would be as follows: L =4.06nH L =9.803nH g 0 =/50 C =3.9pF C =.64pF L = 50 August by Fabian Kung Wai Lee 68 34

These parameters can be determined from the values of the odd and even mode impedance (Z oo & Z oe ) of each coupled line.
