Filters which uses planer and dielectric resonator will benefit from high quality dielectric materials. Planar and filters based on printed circuit board (PCB) are more practical and popular to design. In this thesis a planar coupled line filter is designed and tested from a high quality dielectric material.

Thexfilterstructurelis fabricated after achieving desired specifications using parallel coupled line technique. ADS software is used for simulation. Optimization is done for achieving selective skirt and desired insertion loss. FR-4 substrate is used to fabricate the simulate filter.
