Design and performance of a compact forward-coupled HTS microstrip filter for a GSM system.

A practical design technique for a compact forward-coupled microstrip bandpass filter structure is introduced based on a computer-aided simulation and optimization software TUMIC. The structure consists of a parallel array of fully aligned half-wavelength resonators. Aimed at the application in the...
