RF/Microwave Filters | Lecture 03 - Amplitude Response

Dive into the world of filters in RF/Microwave technology with this lecture delivered by Senior Vice President for Purdue University Online and Reilly Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Dr. Dimitri Peroulis. This video focuses on the amplitude response of filters while defining the fundamental aspects including pass-band, attenuation band, and transition band. Dr. Peroulis explains what a filter's ripple is and how it can directly impact the bit error rate of a signal. Real-world examples are used to demonstrate the effect of amplitude distortion on a multi-frequency signal, considering non-linear attenuation of filters. Gain a deeper understanding of how ripple can impact the bit error rate, which can be crucial when designing filters that meet specific performance requirements.
