Abstract :
The planar circuit approach for the characterisation of microstrip circuits is combined with the image parameter method to give a new powerful technique for integrated circuit filter design (planim). The inclusion of two-dimensional effects in the synthesis procedure makes the planim approach particularly suited for monolithic microwave circuits. The design of microstrip filters with extremely wide stopbands is shown as an example.
