Abstract
RF filters are fundamental building blocks in many communications systems. Particularly, when weight and size represent essential requirements, such as in satellite equipments, the filter design become a critical problem. In this paper a novel compact combline filter for satellite applications in C band, is designed and realized on Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) substrate. This paper exploits the multilayer characteristic of LTCC to reduce the size of the structure without weigh heavily on the RF performances.File in questo prodotto:
