Abstract

Microwave filter networks represent a critical and substantive portion of any communication systems. Such a system, be it wireless or satellite, requires filters to group the signals received into channels for amplification and processing. The phenomenal growth in telecommunication industry in recent years has brought significant advances in filter technology as new communication systems emerged demanding equipment miniaturization while requiring more stringent filter characteristics. In particular, the growth of satellite communication industry has spurred tremendous activity in the area of microwave filter design and has been responsible for many advances made in this field.
