16-4. Optimized High Pass Filter
There are several ways to design a high pass filter in microstrip form. In this
section, we will introduce an easy way to fabricate a high pass filter, which can also be
considered as a wideband band pass filter.
16-4-1. Design Example
We will design a high pass filter with 0.1dB ripple and 1.5GHz cut off frequency.
The input and output impedance are both 50
:. The PCB material is FR4 with dielectric
constant of 4.2 and thickness of 1.2 mm.
16-4-2. Solution
First, we assume that the pass band is from 1.5GHz to 4.7GHz.
