“Introduction to RF Lumped Passive Filter Design – Theory vs Practice” by WONG Peng Wen, PhD, Senior Lecturer of Universiti Teknologi Petronas, Malaysia.

January 15, 2015 (Thursday)
7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
PSDC, Room 1202, 1 Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, 11900 Bayan Lepas, Penang, Malaysia

Admission is free.  Refreshments will be served at 6:30 pm.  Network and interact with like-minded engineers and researchers before the seminar begins.

Abstract

RF filters play extremely important role in all wireless application.  However the end design does not meet the desired specifications simply due to the lack of proper design techniques and knowledge on practical limitations.  Due to the stringent specifications serving different application various filter topologies had been developed.  This special talk is designed to provide a good understanding on the fundamentals and practical filter design techniques for anyone who is interested in RF filter.  It introduces the applications, classical filter functions, ladder synthesis, circuit transformation and practical limitations and issues faced during pre- and post-design of filter.  Practical design examples will be demonstrated with the aid of commercial tool.

Who Should Attend

Students, Engineers, Research scientist or Academic staffs who wish to understand the design of RF Lumped filter design.

Duration

~1-2 Hrs

Prerequisite

N/A.  This is an introductory talk however exposure to RF circuit work would be useful.
