A low pass filter only allows signals below its cut-off frequency to pass while attenuating other signals with frequencies higher than those of the filter. Several interesting techniques were proposed by researchers to design low pass filter. However, majority of those filters present difficulties of integration with other elements of electronics gadgets, high cost, high power consumption, large size and low-frequency application. Consequently, the current study focussed on design and simulation of a parallel coupled-line microstrip low pass filter. CST microwave software was used for the design and simulation of the filter. Results Analyses were made and the resulting frequency responses were plotted using a sigma plot. It was concluded that the proposed microstrip filter presents solutions to the issues observed in the former designs.
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.
