Featured Examples
Create and Analyze Dual Characteristics of Complementary Split Ring Resonators from Gerber Files
Create and analyze of complementary split ring resonators from Gerber files.
Design and Analyze Compact UWB Low Pass Filter Using pcbComponent
Design and analyze a compact low pass ultra-wide band (UWB) filter based on a U-shaped complementary split ring resonator using the pcbComponent object. The filter is designed to have very low insertion loss over a wide band of frequency from low 0.1 GHz to 10.8 GHz. The design of the filter is taken from the reference [1].
Design and Analyze Band Stop Filter Using pcbComponent
Design and analyze band stop filter using the pcbComponent object. Design the band stop filter with a fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 1.0 at a midband frequency f0 of 2.5 GHz for the band-edge frequencies of f1 = 1.25 GHz and f2 = 3.75 GHz as defined in Figure 6.11b of reference [1].
Design and Analyze HighPass Filter Using pcbComponent
Design and analyze highpass filter using the pcbComponent object. A microstrip highpass filter is designed based on a three-pole (n = 3) Chebyshev highpass prototype with 0.1 dB passband ripple and cutoff frequency fc = 1.5 GHz.
