Filter Design by Transmission Zeros
AUTHOR: Randall W. Rhea
FORMAT: CD-ROM
PUBLISHED: 2001
ISBN: 1-884932-23-1
This practice-oriented course helps you understand the design of L-CD filters based on the specifications of transmission zeros. Mastering this powerful technique will allow you to design customized filters with reduced component count and more easily realized element values. Session includes sections on classic design methods and practical issues associated with building filters. Running time for the course is approximately 60 minutes.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- Windows 95 or higher
- Pentium II 333 MHz or faster
- 64 MB RAM
- CD-ROM drive
- sound card
PUBLISHER'S COMMENTS
This easy to navigate tutorial is designed for beginning wireless and RF engineers and those who wish to filter design techniques. No knowledge of higher math required; some familiarity with RF design and measurement terms helpful. This 60-minute course:
- allows you to move through each session at your own speed,
- requires no extra work books,
- provides you with testing methods for the key concepts taught.
NAVIGATING Filter Design by Tranmission Zeros
Navigation is similar to any computer-based information application. Clearly designated sections with an intuitive layout leave no frustrating distractions.
- The CD-ROM can be started from any PC that has Windows 95 (or higher), at least 64 MB of RAM, a sound card and speakers.
- The material may be accessed by either choosing to view the course start to finish, or by choosing individual pages of interest.
- Once the course is started, no interaction is required. The course can be paused at any point, and can be viewed page by page like a book.
