RF PCB Filters and Stubs

Create filters and stubs for use in frequency dependent circuits

Create filters and stubs using RF PCB Toolbox™. Filters are used to select and reject a particular band of frequencies in receivers, transmitters and frequency synthesizers. Stubs are used in impedance matching circuits, filters, and resonant circuits used in oscillators and RF amplifiers.
