Theoretical and CAD Modelling of Distributed Filter Design with Finite Q Resonators

This project focuses on theoretical modelling of a lossy combline filter in MATLAB. Classical designs of filters have not been taking into consideration of various loss factors related to the resonator in MATLAB. With that, there will always be inconsistency to the simulated response due to the response gap between ideal and lossy. Hence, modelling of a lossy combline filter will significantly improve the traditional way of filter designs by incorporating conductor and dielectric losses in practical realization. Simulations of both ideal and lossy combline filter will be performed using MATLAB, Maple and Advanced Design System (ADS) as well as for comparison and analysis purposes.
