rf and microwave filter modeling

receivers, transmitters, and frequency synthesizers use rf and microwave filters to select or reject signals with a particular band of frequency. filtering a signal modifies its phase and magnitude components. rf receiver systems use filters such as the rf preselector filter, image rejection filter, and if filter. you can design filters suited to your application using the object from rf toolbox™ or the filter blocks from rf blockset™. for example, you can design an rf preselector filter in chebyshev configurations using an rffilter object or the circuit envelope filter (rf blockset) block and filter undesired frequency bands causing spurious emissions and intermodulation distortions in mixers [1].

you can also use the object to create a butterworth or inverse chebyshev filter. the rffilter object also supports implementing a transfer function. for more information, see . in addition to the three configurations, you can also design an ideal filter in simulink^® environment using the circuit envelope filter block. ideal filters perfectly allow frequencies in the passband and completely reject frequencies in the stopband.

microstrip filters play an important role in microwave applications. almost all communication systems contain an rf front end that performs signal processing using rf and microwave filters. you can design coupled-line, hairpin, and stepped-impedance lowpass filters in the microstrip form. these filters have very low insertion loss and are easy to fabricate in compact sizes. design these filters in a printed circuit board (pcb) using rf pcb toolbox™ filter objects.
