Agilent EEsof EDA Applications: Filters

Filters

Designers of analog and digital filters can use a wide range of design tools in a single design environment: Advanced Design System (ADS).

Synthesis of the most important microstrip filter types is supported by the Passive Circuit DesignGuide. Lumped element filters can be synthesized using E-Syn. Microstrip, stripline, and CPW filters can be analyzed accurately and quickly using the planar EM simulator Momentum. The Digital Design tool synthesizes FIR and IIR filter responses. All of these design tools are part of ADS.

Additional design support is provided by a growing number of examples and training classes, and by Agilent EEsof EDA technical support.
