How can I display the characteristics of microwave filter?

z-transform fir low-pass filter fourth order

Hi

I'm studying RF filters.

How can I display the characteristics(magnitude and phase vs frequency) of
RF filters? Which tools should I use?

Please help me.

bilinear resistor biquad

many software avalaible like anasoft ciercuit design
or sonnet software.

negative feedback single amplifier biquad matlab

there are alot , and in many asspects as well

u can analyze the microstrip filter using EM simulation which is most accurate
there are "momentum , EM sight , IE3d , sonnet , HFSS

there are also filter simulation in compact model level , which is a models for TX lines

the software . MWO , ADS , Eagleware , Ansoft designer

khouly

free micorwave filter synthesis program

eagleware is a good software!

+reflection coefficient +positive +negative

You may first to understand the characteristics of filter,
the tools to display you can choose anyone you like.

hairpin filter with finite frequency zeros

HFSS can display the S-parameter and the effect of electromagnetic coupling, its all you need to display.

akerberg-mossberg biquads

u can use @ds filter design guide
Also there are many examples in @ds

gaussian filter design passive freeware

Just Filters then why you need expensive tools...

Use Nuhertz Filter Synthesis tools...
