Description

This work presents the design, simulation, fabrication and measurement of a novel set of microstrip filters to perform the task of frequency discriminators. These filters’ frequency responses are based on the balanced Gray-code.
Results show that the use of the balanced Gray-code, as opposed to the traditional Gray-code, allowed 20% circuit size reduction by using 60% less resonators due to a change in the resonators’ orientation.
