Genesys M/Filter Synthesis is a versatile, interactive tool that creates high-performance distributed-element filters to your specifications. The tool helps RF engineers of all skill levels become more productive, and enables system architects to assess Make or Buy decisions to lower cost.

Genesys M/Filter Synthesis is a distributed-element microwave companion to the lumped-element Filter Synthesis module. It performs several essential functions.

  • Creates distributed-element filters, in both schematic and layout, ready for use in the Genesys environment, including substrate and tunable variables
  • Evaluate different filter types for board area, performance as fast as you can hit the "down" button on your keyboard!
  • Synthesize to ideal transmission lines, or, choose a substrate and implement directly into 13 different process types
  • Optimize the performance directly from the synthesis window
  • Integrates well with Momentum GX (EM) and Spectrasys (system) simulators

M/Filter Synthesis is deceptively easy to use, and provides over 60 physical filter topologies, with support for user-defined topologies. With free integration of the Advanced Transmission Line Synthesis module, these filter topologies can be implemented directly in one of 13 different technologies (Fig. 1) using a library of 100's of commercial substrates (Fig. 2).

  • 4 filter types (Lowpass, Highpass, Bandpass, Bandstop)
  • 5 filter shapes for each filter type (Butterworth, Chebyshev, Bessel, Singly Equalized, and user-defined)
  • Up to 8 topologies for each filter type (stepped, stub, hairpin, combine, edge-coupled, and many more)
  • Approximately 60 built-in topologies, plus support for user-defined filter types
