Microstrip Bandpass filter - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hi all,

I am trying to design a Microstrip bandpass filter using edge Coupled Tapped line structure. After designing and simulating it in ADS, i found variations in the actual performance and simulation result. I found that there is a shift in the band and poor return loss.

Can anyone please suggest me

1.why i am getting shift in the band??

2. Why there is mismatch in the simulation and actual response even though i am feeding the substrate information in the simulation?

3. How to control this shift in the band?

4. How to improve the return loss perfomance?

Please help me to solve this problem.
