iFilter

iFilter is completely integrated

into AWRDE and easily

accessible.

Overview

Developed specically for synthesis of lumped-element and distributed lters,

iFilter brings useful lter synthesis to the integrated desktop. The module plugs

directly into the Microave Ofce design environment and is integrated as aizard ithin the Aw Design nvironment (AwD).

iFilters intuitive interface ill quickly have you designing lters, connecting

them directly to circuitry and making trade-offs that positively impact your

design. Once you are satised ith the performance and design of your

lter(s), youre ready to implement them in Microave Ofce softare via

automatic generation of schematics, graphs, and even tuning parameters and

optimization goals. Physical layout is automatically generated for distributed

designs, and design and optimization for lumped designs can be readily done

ith user-dened parts libraries.

iFilters physical layouts are automatically generated for distributed lters,hile lumped-element lters can be realized using an extensive library of

manufacturers components (inductors, capacitors, etc). Designers can vie

representations of the lter before it is exported to Microave Ofce softare.

Sitching from an annotated schematic vie to a physical vie or netlists

ith parametric information provides insight into the lters impedances and

resonances. iFilter softare also provides feedback on higher-order modes

and line idths for common characteristic impedances, and arns the user

if the desired characteristics of the lter are beyond the capabilities of a

specic topology. Additionally, iFilter performs accurate synthesis through

electromagnetic verication ith for instance, Aws AXM 3D planar M

simulator. This is especially important hen designing distributed lters.

whAT iS iFilTer?

Filter type and realization are simply and easily dened

though an intuitive, fully descriptive interface that narrows

down the realizable lters and options.

Switch from an annotated schematic view to a physical view

or netlists with parametric information.

Having trouble realizing real lters with your lter

synthesis? iFilter warns you when you may have a problem

implementing!
