Patent ID: 11460494

Abstract:
A method of designing a filter to meet a set of specifications. The set of specifications is received, and a filter design is established. Analysis of the filter design is performed by: determining a part admittance matrix; determining a circuit admittance matrix based on the part admittance matrices; reducing interior nodes of the circuit admittance matrix; reducing algebraic nodes to transform the circuit admittance matrix into a Green's Function; evaluating the Green's Function to determine a circuit exterior node admittance matrix; and transforming the circuit exterior node admittance matrix to a circuit scattering matrix. The circuit scattering matrix is compared to the set of specifications to determine whether the filter design is satisfactory. When a determination is made that the design is not satisfactory, the filter design is modified and the process is repeated. When a determination is made that the design is satisfactory, a filter design description is output.
