In this video, I will explain what is QAM modulation and what is 16QAM.
QAM Stands for Quadrature Amplitude Modulation. QAM is both an analog and a digital modulation method. But here, we are only talking about QAM as a digital modulation.
Quadrature means that two carrier waves are being used, one sine wave and one cosine wave. These two waves are out of phase with each other by 90°, this is called quadrature.
At the receiving end, the sine and cosine wave can be decoded independently, this means that by using both a sine wave and a cosine wave, the communication channel's capacity is doubled comparing to using only one sine or one cosine wave. That is why quadrature is such a popular technique for digital modulation.
QAM modulation is a combination of Amplitude Shift Keying and Phase Shift Keying, both carrier wave is modulated by changing both its amplitude and phase. As shown in this 8QAM waveform, the top is the sine wave carrier, for bit 000, the sin wave has a phase shift of 0°, and an amplitude of 2. While for bit 110, the phase shift is 180°, and the amplitude now is 1. So both phase and amplitude are changed.
In 16QAM, the input binary data is combined into groups of 4 bits called QUADBITS.
As shown in this picture, the I and I' bits are sent to the sine wave modulation path, and the Q and Q' bits are sent to the cosine wave path. Since the bits are split and sent in parallel, so the symbol rate has been reduced to a quarter of the input binary bit rate. If the input binary data rate is 100 Gbps, then the symbol rate is reduced to only 25 Gbaud/second. This is the reason why 16QAM is under hot research for 100Gbps fiber optic communication.
The I and Q bits control the carrier wave's phase shift, if the bit is 0, then the phase shift is 180°, if the bit is 1, then the phase shift is 0°.
The I' and Q' bits control the carrier wave's amplitude, if bit is 0, then the amplitude is 0.22 volt, if the bit is 1, then the amplitude is 0.821 volt.
So each pair of bits has 4 different outputs. Then they are added up at the linear summer. 4X4 is 16, so there is a total of 16 different combinations at the output, that is why this is called 16QAM.
This illustration shows an example of how the QUADBIT 0000 is modulated onto the carrier waves.
Here I and I' is 00, so the output is -0.22 Volt at the 2-to-4-level converter, when timed with the sine wave carrier, we get -0.22sin(2πfct), here fc is the carrier wave's frequency. QQ' is also 00, so the other carrier wave output is -0.22cos(2πfct).
Here is the proof that quadbit 0000 is modulated as a sine wave with an amplitude of 0.311volt and a phase shift of -135°. You can now pause for a moment to study the proof.
This list shows the 16QAM modulation output with different amplitude and phase change for all 16 quadbits. On the right side is the constellation diagram which shows the positions of these quadbits on a I-Q diagram.

Microstrip low pass filter designs using defected ground structureeSAT Journals
Abstract The microwave filters play an important role in most RF/microwave applications. They are designed to remove undesired harmonics to reduce the system noise or to remove spurious mixing products. DGS slot with an interdigital shape are introduced here in two elliptic low pass filter designs. Here a fifth order low pass filter was designed, simulated and fabricated for a cut off frequency of 3GHz. Finally a prototype model were designed based on the simulation results obtained. These prototype filter designs have more than 20 dB of stop band rejection and a good return loss in the pass band. The fabricated results proved to be better than the simulation results. In the first low pas filter design the central aperture was replaced with the interdigital slot structure which improved the stop band response at the resonant frequency around 7.8 GHz. To improve the stop band rejection two interdigital structures were introduced in the bottom layer (Ground). Key Words: Defected ground structure (DGS), low pass filters, microstrip filter, transmission zero.

Design of Microstrip UWB Bandpass Filter using open-circuited resonatorsIJERD Editor
A compact band pass filter with a fractional bandwidth of 59% is designed for Ultra Wide Band (UWB) applications using a microstrip structure consisting of open circuit resonators. Transmission zeros are utilized at the passband edges to enhance the signal selectivity. The filter is characterized by sharp roll-off characteristics due to the presence of transmission zeros. The insertion loss and return loss are found to be 0.1dB and -15dB respectively. This filter has a measured 3-dB passband of (3 to 5.5) GHz, with a compact size of (13.2 x 9.7) mm. The filter offers desirable performance for the lower-band frequency of a UWB system and exhibits low insertion loss. As the structure comprises of only transmission line sections and no coupling gap, the filter is made easy for fabrication. This UWB BPF is useful to alleviate the strong WLAN signals interference to UWB receivers. To illustrate the concept, band pass filter was designed using Agilent® ADS software and simulated results are obtained.

This paper presented the design of integrated open loop resonator bandpass filter with notch type antenna for the use in microwave applications. Chebyshev type filter is selected as the filter characteristics and cascaded design with the antenna to produce a single module, Integrated Filter Antenna (IFA). Special feature of the antenna is the implementation of notch on the patch antenna to improve the efficiency. IFA is then simulated in electromagnetic simulation tool, Agilent Advance Design System (ADS) version 2016 and measured using R&S Vector Network Analyzer. It shows that the proposed IFA produced good measured return loss >-30dB with both vertical and horizontal gain of 9.11dBi and 8.01dBi respectively.
Band pass filter comparison of Hairpin line and square open-loop resonator me...journalBEEI
The selection of the right filter design method is a very important first step for a radio frequency engineer. This paper presents the comparison of two methods of band pass filter design using hairpin-line and square open-loop resonator. Both methods were applied to obtain filter designs that can work for broadcasting system in digital television community. Band pass filter was simulated using design software and fabricated using epoxy FR-4 substrate. The results of simulation and measurement shown return loss value at 27.3 dB for hairpin line band pass filter and 25.901 for square open-loop resonator band pass filter. Voltage standing wave ratio parameter values were 1.09 and 1.1067 for hairpin line and square open-loop band pass filter respectively. The insertion loss values for the Hairpin line band pass filter and square open-loop band pass filter were 0.9692 and near 0 dB, respectively. Fractional bandwidth, for hairpin line band pass filter, was 6.7% while for square open-loop band pass filter was 4.8%. Regarding the size, the dimension of square open-loop resonator was approximately five times larger than hairpin-line band pass filter. Based on the advantages of the hairpin line method, we recommend that researchers choose the filter for digital TV broadcasting.

Efficient Design of Higher Order Variable Digital Filter for Multi Modulated ...IJTET Journal
The electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis is commonly used technique in clinical examination proposes a method of designing reconfigurable warped digital filter with various low-pass, high-pass, band-pass and band-stop responses. The warped filter is obtain by replacing each element interruption of a digital filter with an all exceed filter. It is widely used for various video and audio processing applications. Warped filters require first-order all pass conversion to obtain low-pass and high-pass responses, and by using second-order all pass conversion to obtain variable band-pass and band-stop responses. To overcome this drawback, proposed method combines warped filters with the coefficient decimation technique. In VLSI circuits in order to reduce hardware cost Command Signals Decoder (CSD) based shift-and-add approach is used for multiplication. It offers extensive savings in opening count and power utilization more than other approaches.

This paper presents a compact design of an ultra wide band bandpass filters with a notch band using interdigital structure. The aim of the design is to reduce the size of filter, reduce the complexity of the design, and improve the performance of filter response. The proposed filter comprises of a rectangular resonator sandwiched between Interdigital structures, with rectangular slot as defected microstrip structure at the input and output ports. This design has been used for the first time to achieve the above aim. The advantage with this design is that, it does not use any via or defected ground structure. The insertion loss of proposed filter, in passband between 3.1 GHz to 10.8 GHz, is less than 0.7dB, and for the notched band it is 21.5 dB centred at 7.9 GHz. The proposed filter is fabricated, tested and compared with simulated results. The proposed design was small in size with less complexity, and shows performance better than the other designs available in the literatures at this dimension.

Text Mining in Digital Libraries using OKAPI BM25 ModelEditor IJCATR
The emergence of the internet has made vast amounts of information available and easily accessible online. As a result, most libraries have digitized their content in order to remain relevant to their users and to keep pace with the advancement of the internet. However, these digital libraries have been criticized for using inefficient information retrieval models that do not perform relevance ranking to the retrieved results. This paper proposed the use of OKAPI BM25 model in text mining so as means of improving relevance ranking of digital libraries. Okapi BM25 model was selected because it is a probability-based relevance ranking algorithm. A case study research was conducted and the model design was based on information retrieval processes. The performance of Boolean, vector space, and Okapi BM25 models was compared for data retrieval. Relevant ranked documents were retrieved and displayed at the OPAC framework search page. The results revealed that Okapi BM 25 outperformed Boolean model and Vector Space model. Therefore, this paper proposes the use of Okapi BM25 model to reward terms according to their relative frequencies in a document so as to improve the performance of text mining in digital libraries.
Green Computing, eco trends, climate change, e-waste and eco-friendlyEditor IJCATR
This study focused on the practice of using computing resources more efficiently while maintaining or increasing overall performance. Sustainable IT services require the integration of green computing practices such as power management, virtualization, improving cooling technology, recycling, electronic waste disposal, and optimization of the IT infrastructure to meet sustainability requirements. Studies have shown that costs of power utilized by IT departments can approach 50% of the overall energy costs for an organization. While there is an expectation that green IT should lower costs and the firm’s impact on the environment, there has been far less attention directed at understanding the strategic benefits of sustainable IT services in terms of the creation of customer value, business value and societal value. This paper provides a review of the literature on sustainable IT, key areas of focus, and identifies a core set of principles to guide sustainable IT service design.
Policies for Green Computing and E-Waste in NigeriaEditor IJCATR
Computers today are an integral part of individuals’ lives all around the world, but unfortunately these devices are toxic to the environment given the materials used, their limited battery life and technological obsolescence. Individuals are concerned about the hazardous materials ever present in computers, even if the importance of various attributes differs, and that a more environment -friendly attitude can be obtained through exposure to educational materials. In this paper, we aim to delineate the problem of e-waste in Nigeria and highlight a series of measures and the advantage they herald for our country and propose a series of action steps to develop in these areas further. It is possible for Nigeria to have an immediate economic stimulus and job creation while moving quickly to abide by the requirements of climate change legislation and energy efficiency directives. The costs of implementing energy efficiency and renewable energy measures are minimal as they are not cash expenditures but rather investments paid back by future, continuous energy savings.

Web Scraping for Estimating new Record from Source SiteEditor IJCATR
Study in the Competitive field of Intelligent, and studies in the field of Web Scraping, have a symbiotic relationship mutualism. In the information age today, the website serves as a main source. The research focus is on how to get data from websites and how to slow down the intensity of the download. The problem that arises is the website sources are autonomous so that vulnerable changes the structure of the content at any time. The next problem is the system intrusion detection snort installed on the server to detect bot crawler. So the researchers propose the use of the methods of Mining Data Records and the method of Exponential Smoothing so that adaptive to changes in the structure of the content and do a browse or fetch automatically follow the pattern of the occurrences of the news. The results of the tests, with the threshold 0.3 for MDR and similarity threshold score 0.65 for STM, using recall and precision values produce f-measure average 92.6%. While the results of the tests of the exponential estimation smoothing using ? = 0.5 produces MAE 18.2 datarecord duplicate. It slowed down to 3.6 datarecord from 21.8 datarecord results schedule download/fetch fix in an average time of occurrence news.
Evaluating Semantic Similarity between Biomedical Concepts/Classes through S...Editor IJCATR
Most of the existing semantic similarity measures that use ontology structure as their primary source can measure semantic similarity between concepts/classes using single ontology. The ontology-based semantic similarity techniques such as structure-based semantic similarity techniques (Path Length Measure, Wu and Palmer’s Measure, and Leacock and Chodorow’s measure), information content-based similarity techniques (Resnik’s measure, Lin’s measure), and biomedical domain ontology techniques (Al-Mubaid and Nguyen’s measure (SimDist)) were evaluated relative to human experts’ ratings, and compared on sets of concepts using the ICD-10 “V1.0” terminology within the UMLS. The experimental results validate the efficiency of the SemDist technique in single ontology, and demonstrate that SemDist semantic similarity techniques, compared with the existing techniques, gives the best overall results of correlation with experts’ ratings.

The techniques and tests are tools used to define how measure the goodness of ontology or its resources. The similarity between biomedical classes/concepts is an important task for the biomedical information extraction and knowledge discovery. However, most of the semantic similarity techniques can be adopted to be used in the biomedical domain (UMLS). Many experiments have been conducted to check the applicability of these measures. In this paper, we investigate to measure semantic similarity between two terms within single ontology or multiple ontologies in ICD-10 “V1.0” as primary source, and compare my results to human experts score by correlation coefficient.
A Strategy for Improving the Performance of Small Files in Openstack Swift Editor IJCATR
This is an effective way to improve the storage access performance of small files in Openstack Swift by adding an aggregate storage module. Because Swift will lead to too much disk operation when querying metadata, the transfer performance of plenty of small files is low. In this paper, we propose an aggregated storage strategy (ASS), and implement it in Swift. ASS comprises two parts which include merge storage and index storage. At the first stage, ASS arranges the write request queue in chronological order, and then stores objects in volumes. These volumes are large files that are stored in Swift actually. During the short encounter time, the object-to-volume mapping information is stored in Key-Value store at the second stage. The experimental results show that the ASS can effectively improve Swift's small file transfer performance.
Integrated System for Vehicle Clearance and RegistrationEditor IJCATR
Efficient management and control of government's cash resources rely on government banking arrangements. Nigeria, like many low income countries, employed fragmented systems in handling government receipts and payments. Later in 2016, Nigeria implemented a unified structure as recommended by the IMF, where all government funds are collected in one account would reduce borrowing costs, extend credit and improve government's fiscal policy among other benefits to government. This situation motivated us to embark on this research to design and implement an integrated system for vehicle clearance and registration. This system complies with the new Treasury Single Account policy to enable proper interaction and collaboration among five different level agencies (NCS, FRSC, SBIR, VIO and NPF) saddled with vehicular administration and activities in Nigeria. Since the system is web based, Object Oriented Hypermedia Design Methodology (OOHDM) is used. Tools such as Php, JavaScript, css, html, AJAX and other web development technologies were used. The result is a web based system that gives proper information about a vehicle starting from the exact date of importation to registration and renewal of licensing. Vehicle owner information, custom duty information, plate number registration details, etc. will also be efficiently retrieved from the system by any of the agencies without contacting the other agency at any point in time. Also number plate will no longer be the only means of vehicle identification as it is presently the case in Nigeria, because the unified system will automatically generate and assigned a Unique Vehicle Identification Pin Number (UVIPN) on payment of duty in the system to the vehicle and the UVIPN will be linked to the various agencies in the management information system.

Energy-Aware Routing in Wireless Sensor Network Using Modified Bi-Directional A*Editor IJCATR
Energy is a key component in the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)[1]. The system will not be able to run according to its function without the availability of adequate power units. One of the characteristics of wireless sensor network is Limitation energy[2]. A lot of research has been done to develop strategies to overcome this problem. One of them is clustering technique. The popular clustering technique is Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH)[3]. In LEACH, clustering techniques are used to determine Cluster Head (CH), which will then be assigned to forward packets to Base Station (BS). In this research, we propose other clustering techniques, which utilize the Social Network Analysis approach theory of Betweeness Centrality (BC) which will then be implemented in the Setup phase. While in the Steady-State phase, one of the heuristic searching algorithms, Modified Bi-Directional A* (MBDA *) is implemented. The experiment was performed deploy 100 nodes statically in the 100x100 area, with one Base Station at coordinates (50,50). To find out the reliability of the system, the experiment to do in 5000 rounds. The performance of the designed routing protocol strategy will be tested based on network lifetime, throughput, and residual energy. The results show that BC-MBDA * is better than LEACH. This is influenced by the ways of working LEACH in determining the CH that is dynamic, which is always changing in every data transmission process. This will result in the use of energy, because they always doing any computation to determine CH in every transmission process. In contrast to BC-MBDA *, CH is statically determined, so it can decrease energy usage.

In networks, the rapidly changing traffic patterns of search engines, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, Big Data and data centers has thrown up new challenges for legacy; existing networks; and prompted the need for a more intelligent and innovative way to dynamically manage traffic and allocate limited network resources. Software Defined Network (SDN) which decouples the control plane from the data plane through network vitalizations aims to address these challenges. This paper has explored the SDN architecture and its implementation with the OpenFlow protocol. It has also assessed some of its benefits over traditional network architectures, security concerns and how it can be addressed in future research and related works in emerging economies such as Nigeria.

Report handling on "LAPOR!" (Laporan, Aspirasi dan Pengaduan Online Rakyat) system depending on the system administrator who manually reads every incoming report [3]. Read manually can lead to errors in handling complaints [4] if the data flow is huge and grows rapidly, it needs at least three days to prepare a confirmation and it sensitive to inconsistencies [3]. In this study, the authors propose a model that can measure the identities of the Query (Incoming) with Document (Archive). The authors employed Class-Based Indexing term weighting scheme, and Cosine Similarities to analyse document similarities. CoSimTFIDF, CoSimTFICF and CoSimTFIDFICF values used in classification as feature for K-Nearest Neighbour (K-NN) classifier. The optimum result evaluation is pre-processing employ 75% of training data ratio and 25% of test data with CoSimTFIDF feature. It deliver a high accuracy 84%. The k = 5 value obtain high accuracy 84.12%
Hangul Recognition Using Support Vector MachineEditor IJCATR
The recognition of Hangul Image is more difficult compared with that of Latin. It could be recognized from the structural arrangement. Hangul is arranged from two dimensions while Latin is only from the left to the right. The current research creates a system to convert Hangul image into Latin text in order to use it as a learning material on reading Hangul. In general, image recognition system is divided into three steps. The first step is preprocessing, which includes binarization, segmentation through connected component-labeling method, and thinning with Zhang Suen to decrease some pattern information. The second is receiving the feature from every single image, whose identification process is done through chain code method. The third is recognizing the process using Support Vector Machine (SVM) with some kernels. It works through letter image and Hangul word recognition. It consists of 34 letters, each of which has 15 different patterns. The whole patterns are 510, divided into 3 data scenarios. The highest result achieved is 94,7% using SVM kernel polynomial and radial basis function. The level of recognition result is influenced by many trained data. Whilst the recognition process of Hangul word applies to the type 2 Hangul word with 6 different patterns. The difference of these patterns appears from the change of the font type. The chosen fonts for data training are such as Batang, Dotum, Gaeul, Gulim, Malgun Gothic. Arial Unicode MS is used to test the data. The lowest accuracy is achieved through the use of SVM kernel radial basis function, which is 69%. The same result, 72 %, is given by the SVM kernel linear and polynomial.

Survey on Energy-Efficient Routing Algorithms for Underwater Wireless Sensor ...Editor IJCATR
In underwater environment, for retrieval of information the routing mechanism is used. In routing mechanism there are three to four types of nodes are used, one is sink node which is deployed on the water surface and can collect the information, courier/super/AUV or dolphin powerful nodes are deployed in the middle of the water for forwarding the packets, ordinary nodes are also forwarder nodes which can be deployed from bottom to surface of the water and source nodes are deployed at the seabed which can extract the valuable information from the bottom of the sea. In underwater environment the battery power of the nodes is limited and that power can be enhanced through better selection of the routing algorithm. This paper focuses the energy-efficient routing algorithms for their routing mechanisms to prolong the battery power of the nodes. This paper also focuses the performance analysis of the energy-efficient algorithms under which we can examine the better performance of the route selection mechanism which can prolong the battery power of the node

Abstract: This paper presents the design technique, simulation, fabrication and comparison between measured and simulated results
of a parallel coupled microstrip BPF. The filter is designed and optimized at 2.44 GHz with a FBW of 3.42%. The first step in
designing of this filter is approximated calculation of its lumped component prototype. Admittance inverter is used to transform the
lumped component circuit into an equivalent form using microwave structures. After getting the required specifications, the filter
structure is realized using parallel coupled technique. Simulation is done using ADS software. Next, optimization is done to achieve
low insertion loss and a selective skirt. The simulated filter is fabricated on FR-4 substrate. Comparison between the simulated and
measured results shows that they are approximately equal.
Keywords: Advanced Design System (ADS), Flame retardant 4 (FR-4), Bandpass Filter (BPF), Fractional Bandwidth (FBW)
1. INTRODUCTION
The microwave filter is a two port network which is used to
control the frequency response at a specific point in a
communication system by providing transmission at
frequencies within the passband and attenuation in the
stopband of a filter. Around the years preceding World War
II, microwave filter theory and practice began by pioneers
such as Mason, Sykes, Darlington, Fano, Lawson and
Richards. Today, most microwave filter designs are done with
sophisticated computer-aided design (CAD) packages based
on the insertion loss method. The image parameter method
may yield a usable filter response for some applications, but
there is no methodical way of improving the design. The
insertion loss method, however, allows a high degree of
control over the passband and stopband amplitude and phase
characteristics, with a systematic way to synthesize a desired
response[1],[2].
1.1 Bandpass Filter
A bandpass filter only passes the frequencies within a certain
desired band and attenuates others signals whose frequencies
are either below a lower cutoff frequency or above an upper
cut-off frequency. The range of frequencies that a bandpass
filter allows to pass through is referred as passband. A typical
bandpass filter can be obtained by combining a low-pass filter
and a high-pass filter or applying conventional low pass to
bandpass transformation.
The ideal bandpass filter has a flat passband where no gain or
attenuation is there and all frequencies outside the passband
are completely rejected. In general condition, there is no ideal
band pass filter. Thus, it can be said that the filters do not
attenuate all frequencies outside the desired frequency range.
This phenomenon is known as filter roll off and is usually
expressed in dB of attenuation per octave or decade of
frequency. The resonant series and parallel LC circuits are
combined to form a band-pass filter as shown in Fig.1below.
In this circuit, the resonant series LC circuits are used to allow
only the desired frequency range to pass while the resonant
parallel LC circuit is used to attenuate frequencies outside the
passband by shunting them towards the ground.
Fig.1 Example of a bandpass filter
Lumped components come with parasitics. For example, an
inductor has parasitic resistance and parasitic capacitance. As
high frequency is approached (around 1 GHz), parasitics start
affecting the frequency response of the filter. It is also very
difficult to model a lumped component. Thus, lumped
component bandpass filter circuit is converted to microstrip
transmission line structure using various methods such as
richard’s transformation, kuroda’s identities, immitance
inverters and so on[3].
Nowadays, a microstrip transmission line or strip line is being
made as a filter due to its behavior as a good resonator. Micro
strip lines give better compromise in terms of size and
performance than lumped element filters. The microstrip
transmission lines consist of a conductive strip of width (W)
and thickness (t) and a wider ground plane, separated by a
dielectric layer (ε) of thickness (h) as shown in Fig. 2 below.

transmission-line filter in microstrip and stripline technology
are very common for implementation of bandpass and band-stop
filters with required bandwidth up to a 20 % of central
frequency. Due to their relatively weak coupling, this type of
filter has narrow fractional bandwidth but instead has desired
advantages such as low-cost fabrication, easy integration and
simple designing procedure[4]. Designing equations for the
coupled line parameters such as space-gap between lines and
line widths and lengths, can be found in classical microwave
books. This way, following a well-defined systematic
procedure, the required microstrip filter parameters can be
easily derived for Butterworth and Chebyshev prototypes. The
same can be done by using ADS software too.
Fig.3 General structure of microstrip parallel coupled line
filter
In the figure above, the width, gap, length and impedance are
labeled as (W), (S), (l), and (Y0) consequently. The coupling
gaps correspond to the admittance inverters in the low-pass
prototype circuit(Fig.4). Even- and odd- mode characteristic
impedances of parallel-coupled half-wave resonators are
computed using admittance inverters. These even- and odd-mode
impedances are then used to compute physical
dimensions of the filter.
1.3 ADS Software
ADS is used as the simulation software. Advanced Design
System (ADS) is an electronic design automation software
system produced by AGILENT EEs, a unit of Agilent
Technologies. It provides an integrated design environment to
designers of RF electronic products such as mobile phones,
pagers, wireless networks, satellite communications, radar
systems, and high speed data links. Agilent ADS supports
every step of the design process—schematic capture, layout,
frequency-domain and time-domain circuit simulation, and
electromagnetic field simulation—allowing the engineer to
fully characterize and optimize an RF design without
changing tools.
1.3 FR-4 PCB
Fabrication of the filter is done on FR-4 printed circuit board.
FR-4, an abbreviation for Flame Retardant 4, is a type of
material used for making a printed circuit board (PCB). It
describes the board itself with no copper covering. The FR-4
used in PCBs is typically UV stabilized with a tetra functional
epoxy resin system. It is typically a yellowish color. FR-4
manufactured strictly as an insulator (without copper
cladding) is typically a dysfunctional epoxy resin system and
a greenish color. FR-4 is preferred over cheaper alternatives
such as synthetic resin bonded paper (SRBP) due to several
mechanical and electrical properties; it is less loss at high
frequencies, absorbs less moisture, has greater strength and
stiffness and is highly flame resistant compared to its less
costly counterpart. Fr-4 is widely used to build high-end
consumer, industrial, and military electronic equipment. It is
also ultra-high vacuum (UHV) compatible[5].
2. DESIGN FLOW
A chebyshev filter is designed to operate between 2.40-2.48
GHz with the center frequency of 2.44 GHz[6]. Passband
ripple is taken as 0.5 dB. Insertion loss and return loss are
required to be ≤ 1 dB and > 15 dB respectively.
The first step in designing a filter is to find its order. The
fractional bandwidth and normalized frequency are found by
the formulae given below[7].
Fractional Bandwidth (FBW) = =0.0342
Normalized Frequency = -1=0.42
Here, ω1 and ω2 are the edge frequencies and ωo is the center
frequency. Then the order of the filter is found out by the
attenuation vs. normalized frequency graph for 0.5 dB ripple
as shown in the graph given below.
Graph 1. Attenuation vs. normalized frequency graph for 0.5
dB
The order of the filter is n=5 at minimum attenuation=20dB
and normalized frequency=0.42. The element values for fifth
order filter are determined from Table 1.

The element values obtained are: g1 =g5 =1.7058, g2
=g4=1.2296, g3=2.5408. The low-pass prototype elements
values obtained can be represented as shown in Figure 4.
Fig. 4 Low pass filter prototype
The low-pass filter consists of series and parallel branch. J-inverter
is used to convert low-pass filter to bandpass filter
with only shunt branch as shown in figure 5.
Fig. 5 Bandpass filter prototype
Using the equations given below, J-inverter performs the low
pass to bandpass conversion.
---------j=1 to n-1
Where FBW is the fractional bandwidth of the bandpass filter,
Jj, j+1 are the characteristic admittances of the J-inverters and
Y0 the characteristic admittance of the terminating lines. To
realize the J-inverters, even- and odd-mode characteristic
impedances of coupled lines are determined by using the
relations given below.
-------j=0 to n
The calculated results are tabulated below.
Table 2. Parallel coupled filer parameters
By using the LineCalc tool in Advanced Design System
(ADS), Agilent Technologies version 2013 software, the
dimensions of width, spacing and length of each stage are
calculated by using even and odd characteristic impedance.
The characteristic impedance Z0 is typically assumed as 50
Ohms. The standard FR-4 board requirements are-

Next, optimization is done. All parameters and goals have to
be set up properly. After that, the optimization and tuning
process carried on for the best results and performance. The
finalized dimensions of width, gap and length of each stage
are shown in Table 4 below.

3. IMPLEMENTATION IN ADS
As a final step, the coupled line filter is designed in the ADS
simulation software environment. It accepts filter parameters
and produces physical dimensions of the filter layout and a
simulation of the filter response.

S (1, 1) and S (2, 1)
Table 5 Simulation results
The calculated bandwidth was 80MHz.The Simulated
bandwidth is less than the calculated bandwidth. The specified
insertion loss was supposed to be less than or equal to 1dB but
the simulated insertion loss is between 1 to 2 dB. The
simulated passband ripple is less than 1dB as per the
specifications. The return loss is greater than 15dB as
required.
4. FABRICATION
Filter PCB is fabricated using FR-4 board. Filter lay out was
generated in ADS tool in Gerber format. It can be noticed
from Fig 8 that many plated through holes are made all
around the filter to nullify the parasitic effects. Mounting
holes are also through drilled and through hole plated at
appropriate distances to provide good grounding. Finally the
Filter PCB is mounted inside a mechanical housing which is
fabricated using Aluminum strips/blocks. Finally the whole
housing was CCC plated for better electrical performance
SMA connectors are mounted on to the housing in such a way
that the center pin of the SMA connector directly land on to
the 50 Ohms line for Input/out connectivity.

5. TESTING
Performance of the Filter is tested using R&S Scalar Network
Analyzer ZLV13, which is 13 GHz network Analyzer[8]. Fig
9 shows the test set up. Transmission measurements were
carried out using S12/S21 set up and Reflection/Return Loss

This may be due to Fabrication anomalies/mistakes.FR4
material losses and dielectric unevenness’s may also be the
reasons for higher insertion loss. It is definitely possible to
achieve better results using Teflon Board instead of FR4.
