Abstract

This short course will focus on how to translate a synthesized filter lowpass circuit prototype into a physical realization with the aid of commercial EM simulation software, such as ANSYS HFSS (Finite Element Method based) and Mician (Mode Matching based). The lecture will emphasize on the mathematical insights needed to convert equivalent electrical parameters into physical dimensions, effectively bridging the gap between synthesis and practical engineering. Topics include the use of space mapping for coaxial resonator filter design and de-normalization techniques for waveguide filter design. Additionally, the course will briefly address the trade-offs between accuracy and efficiency in the detailed design process.
