The resulting synthesis is successfully demonstrated in an long-term evolution application by means of a third-order filter of ,225 mm2 in size while featuring 2.3 dB insertion loss over a 5.5% fractional bandwidth at 3.7 GHz. Good first-iteration agreement between simulated and measured results, both in center frequency and bandwidth, are achieved.en© Cambridge University Press and the European Microwave Association, 2014Applications and standards (Mobile, Wireless, networks)FiltersArticle
