Dear experts. I am thinking of solution for KU band tunable filter, but because there is a spec to tuning speed,no bigger than 100ns, so YIG can not be of...
Does anybody know whether there is variable capacitor with tuning range covering 0.02-0.1pf? or is there mems variable capacitors of single chip form? Thanks. ...

Ralph, thank you very much for your very kind reply. You're right, metallic loss is not a problem. But if you use a 3D em tool to calculate the scattering...

I agree with Dr. Levy, except when computing the scattering parameters in below-cutoff dispersive sections....then one indeed needs the complex normalizing...
Yes, of course the inclusion of an evanescent mode transmission line requires normalization to a complex (imaginary) impedance. I even wrote a paper on such...

Hi, I'm having trouble finding the correct group delay value in HFSS. I'm not sure where I should put my reference plane. For the input coupling to the first...
Dear MTT-8 experts, I've been having trouble correctly setting the reference plane when I'm doing filter design in HFSS. I'm trying to design filters by using...
As long you did not put the reference plane too close to the first discontinuity, the position of the plane should not change the value of group delay...
Dear Dr. Yu, Thanks a lot for your reply. As you mentioned, the group delay does not change significantly. I'm just thinking, in order to do fine tuning, it is...
Hello, I am designing an ultra-wide band bandpass filter for the freq range of 3-10 GHz. At first, I will design a lowpass filter for 10 GHz then cascade...

I have not had to build a waveguide coupler with coupling as strong as -6 dB, but if I did, perhaps I would build a stripline coupler at -6 dB and transition...
Dear Dr.Snyder and Dr.Levy, Thanks for your suggestions. In fact I designed a 6dB branch line coupler in microstrip form, and used microstrip-circular...
Dear Yun, I missed the 6 dB coupling requirement in my initial response. Actually there is no problem in realizing waveguide couplers for this case. There are...
