Microstrip Filters for RF / Microwave Applications

Although the microstrip filter remains as the main transmission line medium for these new developments, there has been a new trend of using combined  planar transmission line structures such as co-planar waveguide (CPW) and slotted ground structures for novel physical implementations beyond the single layer in order to achieve filter miniaturization and better performance.

Also, over the years, practitioners have suggested topics that should be added for completeness, or deleted in some cases, as they were not very useful in practice. 

In view of the above, the authors are proposing a revised version of the €œMicrostrip Filters for RF/Microwave Applications€ text and a slightly changed book title of €œPlanar Filters for RF/Microwave Applications€ to reflect the aforementioned trends in the revised book.
