Filters and Stubs

Coupled line, hairpin, and stepped-impedance low pass filters; radial stubs

Use the filter and stub objects and functions to create and visualize filters and stubs used in a printed circuit board (PCB).

RF and microwave filters are used to select or reject a particular band of frequencies in receivers, transmitters, and frequency synthesizers.

Radial stubs are used in antenna impedance matching circuits, frequency selective filters, and resonant circuits for UHF electronic oscillators and RF amplifiers.
