Performance analysis on edge-coupled micro-strip band pass filter for ku band

Abstract

The primary purpose of this report is more to brief to the reader with a detailed and comprehensive study of theory, design, and result in the designing Edge coupled micro-strip band pass filter. This filter design is operate at frequency 12.2-12.7GHz. The approaches used to achieve this thesis are through literature review of micro-strip filter including calculation, and computer software simulation. Micro-strip technology is the best technique because it is can give accurate value and economical. This technology is design to reduce the cost compared to conventional filter that had been used before. The band pass filter has several types and design but this thesis is focused on the edge-coupled band pass filter to determine the suitable parameters. Ansoft designer SV2 Software is used to analyze the characteristic parameter and determine the insertion loss and return loss of frequency response that has been used to analyze performance quality. The band pass filter contributes to the application of satellite downlink frequency. This thesis exposes to the evaluation process of analyze edge-coupled micro-strip band pass filter.
