Product Description:
Advanced, specialized coverage of microstrip filter design

Microstrip Filters for RF/Microwave Applications is the only professional reference focusing solely on microstrip filters. It offers a unique and comprehensive treatment of filters based on the microstrip structure and includes full design methodologies that are also applicable to waveguide and other transmission line filters.

The authors include coverage of new configurations with advanced filtering characteristics, new design techniques, and methods for filter miniaturization. The book utilizes numerous design examples to illustrate and emphasize computer analysis and synthesis while also discussing the applications of commercially available software. Other highlights include:
  • Lowpass and bandpass filters
  • Highpass and bandstop filters
  • Full-wave electromagnetic simulation
  • Advanced materials and technologies
  • Coupled resonator circuits
  • Computer-aided design for low-cost/high-volume production
  • Compact filters and filter miniaturization


Microstrip Filters for RF/Microwave Applications is not only a valuable design resource for practitioners, but also a handy reference for students and researchers in microwave engineering.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - not for beginners
The first part of the book presents compact, summarized mathematical descriptions of filters in general. This is intended as a review for readers already skilled in filter design. The second part of the book presents design equations for some common microstrip filters and one example each with simulated results. The last part of the book presents more detailed descriptions of recent research into topologies and materials. Many of these topologies are given in drawing form with simulated results ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An Excellent Book
I read this book from cover to cover. It's an excellent book. Covers a wide range of aspects; from basics to really advanced filtering techniques. Just brilliant. It is also quite useful for practical designing; full of fully-detailed design examples and synthesis methods. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, it will add alot to your knowledge. Beside, you can't get bored with it, as it's well-written and not that long; straight to the point.
If you read it in-depth, you will find it quite ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Smoke and Mirrors
The authors start out with good intentions however they do not see them through to completion. For instance, the section in chapter 5 on hairpin filters refers you to parameter extraction techniques in chapter 8. Reading through chapter 8, nothing explicity refers you back to chapter 5. You are left on your own to figure out what in chapter 8 applies to chapter 5. Likewise with the section in chapter 5 regarding parallel coupled line filters. They refer you back to chapter 4, but chapter 4 does not ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good book
Obviously there aren't too many books on microwave filters. I can think of only two or three. So, this book is by default one of the top three. Anyways. Much of basic network theory in this book can be found in "Microwave Filters, Impedance-Matching Networks, and Coupling Structures". Also I suggest Pozar's "Microwave Engineering" for a good intro into the low pass-band pass filter conversions and look up tables. Also, many of the paragraphs are complete copy's of the author's (Hong and Lancaster) publications. ... Read More
