EMI Filter Design, 3rd Edition

16Matrices, Transfer Functions, and Insertion Loss

This book is not a mathematics or matrix course, however the engineer needs to be familiar with the methods used to get to the filter component values in chapters 16 and 17. The A-type matrix is both simple and practical for solving many electrical problems. Section 16.2 will look at the matrices of various topologies.

16.1 Synthesis, Modeling, and Analysis

There are several excellent programs that can be used to both define and verify filter values as follows: frequency magnitude loss at any frequency (especially those frequencies out of limits), the proper frequency magnitude slope, and the possible phase shifts over the band of interest. The same is true for modeling the circuit. Some people ...
