Microstrip Filters for RF/Microwave Applications Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The authors start out with good intentions however they do not see them through to completion. For instance, the section in chapter 5 on hairpin filters refers you to parameter extraction techniques in chapter 8. Reading through chapter 8, nothing explicity refers you back to chapter 5. You are left on your own to figure out what in chapter 8 applies to chapter 5. Likewise with the section in chapter 5 regarding parallel coupled line filters. They refer you back to chapter 4, but chapter 4 does not explicity refer you back to chapter 5. The examples are incomplete at best and criminal at worst. The examples start out with adequate detail but then the usual academia smoke and mirrors trick is performed and voila you have the solution. Again the sections on hairpin and parallel coupled line filters (p130 and p128) show this.
In summary this book is not worth your time or money.

Analog Filters using MATLAB Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The book is quite good if you know nothing about analog filters synthesis. The information is quite good and it's presented really well. It gets straight to the point and because of that it's quite helpful.
But, if you are looking for a way to implement those filters in Matlab, this is NOT the right book for you. It has almost nothing about using Matlab or any of its functions. The few functions it mentions are old Matlab 5.2 versions of them which no longer exist, are no longer useful or have been replaced by better ones.
It's a good book about Analog Filters, with almost no Matlab on it.

This textbook provides a complete introduction to analog filters for senior undergraduate and graduate students. It covers the synthesis of analog filters as well as many other filter types including passive filters and filters with distributed elements. The material also addresses the basic circuit elements for the filters. Each chapter contains examples as well as problems and the author also provides a list of MATLAB functions.
