A microstrip low pass filter using a U‐shaped folded high impedance line is designed. Comparison with conventional filter has shown almost ripple free pass band and better stop band characteristics in the filter with folded line. Effective optimization of filter dimensions led to smoother and spurious free responses, which are desirable in the radio frequency and microwave systems. Size of overall filter is reduced by 7.5% and 9.02% for third order and fifth order filters, respectively. Both simulated and measured responses of fifth order filter are presented and found in agreement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
