Revolutionizing RF Filter Design with Prodigy™ Filter Designer

Filters exist all over RF systems to select bands of interest and reject unwanted signals and spurs. Due to the unique nature of each RF system, the tones that need to be selected or rejected can land all over the frequency spectrum, often driving designers to create custom filters for each application. However, crafting custom tailored filters introduces challenges like utilizing expensive engineering time, introducing unknown reliability concerns, and a need to maintain low SWaP-C. Recently, Marki Microwave decided to address these issues head on by introducing a groundbreaking filter design tool: Prodigy™ Filter Designer!

Prodigy Filter Designer is a free to use, 3D FEM-based, rapid custom filter design tool that generates real filters, downloadable s2p files, and system-level tradeoffs in minutes – saving hours of design time when compared to traditional 3D FEM approaches. Due to its seamless integration with existing Marki design tools, such as the Spur Calculator, Prodigy Filter Designer allows you to create custom filters as you iterate a frequency plan to solve complex problems in real time. Join us as we delve into the world of RF filters, gain insight into Marki Microwave’s filter design capabilities, and learn how to instantly engineer real-world MMIC filters with Prodigy Filter Designer.
