The Pros and Cons of Different Filter Structures

LC FiltersThe LC filter is a filter composed of appropriate capacitors and inductors. It could be designed to realize low-pass, band-pass, high-pass, and band-stop filters.Pros: Small size, low cost, long parasitic passbandCons: The insertion loss is high, the out-of-band selection performance is poor, and the power capacity is small.In addition, the inductance in the LC filter adopts the method o……

The RF Characteristics that Define the Performance of a Filter

In last article, we introduced the basic concepts of filter. Today, we’d like to discuss further about the RF characteristics of the filter and how it defines its performances.Usually, the RF characteristics used to describe the filter performance are:  Orders (Stages) Absolute bandwidth / Relative bandwidth Cutting Frequency VSWR Out-of-Band Rejection Ripple in band Insertion loss Flatness……

What you need to know about RF Filter

The RF filter is one of the essential key components in the radio frequency system. It is mainly used for frequency selection—letting the required frequency signal pass and reflecting the unwanted interference frequency signal.A classic example of a filter application is a receiver or transmitter front end, as shown inFigure 1: Receiver RF Front-EndAs can be seen from Figure 1, the filter is wid……

Welcome to EuMW 2023 at Berlin Germany

The 26th edition of the European Microwave Week (EuMW 2023) will come to Berlin to continue the annual series of highly successful microwave events that started back in 1998. EuMW 2023 comprises three co-located conferences:  The European Microwave Conference (EuMC)  The European Microwave Integrated Circuits Conference (EuMIC)  The European Radar Conference (EuRAD) In addition, EuMW 202……

5G NTN – the Revolution of Mobile Communication

What’s is NTN?NTN:Non-Terrestrial NetworksNTN has become a general term for any network involving non-ground flying objects.NTNs include Satellite Communication Networks, High Altitude Platform Systems (HAPS) and Air-to-ground networks, as shown in the figure below. 1.1 Satellite Communication NetworksSatellite Communication Networks is an airborne platform include: LEO(Low Earth Orbiting)、ME……

The RNSS and RDSS Application and Integrated System

RNSS (full name: Radio Navigation Satellite System) is a satellite radio navigation service in which users receive satellite radio navigation signals. RNSS completes the distance measurement independently to 4 satellites at least, and calculates the user’s position, speed and navigation parameters. Systems such as GPS are typical RNSS systems. RDSS (full name: Radio Determination Satellite Se……
