Review Compact Microwave Filter for Harmonic Rejection

Abstract

An investigation of the several different techniques and method have been suggested in the design of compact microwave filters for the realization of high performance output micromachined microstrip low pass filters and highest attenuation loss is presented in this paper. It is shown that the basis for much fundamental microwave filter theory lies in the real of lumped-element filters, which lumped elements suffers for not suitable use in high frequency, because wavelength will decrease to short and the only distributed elements can practically well and the lumped elements circuit and work efficiently at low frequency or vice versa wavelength of distributed elements become too larger. In this paper, a review of numerous methods of design compact microstrip filters that have been offered over the last years is proposed, including a discussion of topologies and the structures used to make compactness size of microwave filters.
