Waveguide Filter Modeling and Simulation using Mode-matching, Fullwave Network Analysis and Swarm Optimization
Keywords:
Waveguide Filter Modeling, Mode-matching, Fullwave Network AnalysisAbstract
This paper presents the modeling of waveguide bandpass filter synthesis. It consists of a combination of the most appropriate and reliable methods and techniques of analysis, simulation and optimization used in determined order and leading to a fast and accurate method of filter synthesis. An example of a forth-order filter synthesis is given, employing a symmetric configuration and symmetric response. The obtained results, reference measurement and commercial software simulator results are compared for validation.
