Analog & RF Filter Basics
RF Cafe Quiz #70

All RF Cafe Quizzes make great fodder for employment interviews for technicians or engineers - particularly those who are fresh out of school or are relatively new to the work world. Come to think of it, they would make equally excellent study material for the same persons who are going to be interviewed for a job.

Note: Some material based on books have quoted passages.

This Analog & RF Filter Basics Quiz targets those of you who are relative newcomers to the world of radio frequency (RF) electronics, but seasoned vets are welcome to give it a go as well. It addresses frequency response and physical construction. Images were obtained from Anatech Electronics documents entitled "Guideline for Choosing RF and Microwave Products" and "Understanding Filter Types and Their Characteristics." Please report any suspected errors to me via e-mail.

About RF Cafe
Copyright: 1996 - 2024 Webmaster: Kirt Blattenberger, BSEE - KB3UON
RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while typing up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
