CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Filters play important roles in many RFmicrowave applications including cellular radio, satellite communication, and radar. They are used to separate or
combine different frequencies. The electromagnetic spectrum is limited and has to be shared. Therefore, filters are used to select and confine the RFmicrowave signals
within assigned spectral limits. The first chapter of this report is the introduction part of the report. In this
chapter, the background studies, the problem statements, the objectives and the scope of work will be discussed
