Rapid Prototyping RF Filters with Tape QUCS

A guide to simulating microstrip filters in QUCS and prototyping them with copper tape on blank FR4 sheets. These supercheap materials are good up to a couple gigahertz, as you ll see in the video. Following a quick realtime demonstration, I simulate and build 2 microstrip filters, a 1GHz steppedimpedance LPF, and a 10GHz endcoupled BPF. 2:05 1, 4 wavelength stub build tests 3:46 Radial stub build tests 4:18 Stepped impedance microstrip LPF design 6:42 Stepped impedance microstrip LPF build
