RF/Microwave Filters | Lecture 01 - Introduction to Microwave Filters

Dive deep into the world of microwave filter design with Purdue University's distinguished Reilly Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Senior Vice President for Purdue University Online, Dr. Dimitri Peroulis. This video, part of his course "RF/Microwave Filters", explores the fundamentals of filter design, with a focus on eliminating interference in wireless communication systems and enhancing their overall performance. Learn about the concept of transmission zeros and how they help combat both in-band and out-of-band interference, and join as Dr. Peroulis delves into the challenges and trade-offs of filter design, such as balancing loss, bandwidth, power handling, cost, and linearity. This course is guided by the coupling-matrix synthesis approach, one of the most commonly used methods for filter design.
