Abstract :
A method for extracting the loaded quality factor of the first resonator of a bandpass filter using one-port measurements is introduced. Properties of the quality factor are reviewed, and a time-domain approximation is used to estimate the loaded Q value from the decay rate of the filter´s natural response. narrowband 900 MHz Chebyshev filters are characterised.
