LossyFilters

Abstract

The LossyFilters software package has been written to synthesize filters following various forms of classical (no-loss considered in the synthesis), pre-distortion and prescribed insertion loss synthesis. This software obtains the coupling matrix of several network topologies for a given response and allows performing rotations on them to find the desired topology. Additionally, the software allows to evaluate the effect of loss in the networks resulting from the synthesis, even in those cases where the synthesis results in an ideal lossless network (i.e., classical and pre-distortion synthesis)
