On the design of microstrip bandpass filters/ Rafidah Ahmad

The aim of this project is to design, fabricate and characterize maximally flat (Butterworth) bandpass filter to be used in microwave communication transceiver. The Butterworth response is chosen since it has less delay distortion and offers the flattest passband compared with the other filter respo...
