Abstract

An accurate and speedy tuning algorithm for cellular radio filters based on performance simulation of circuit network and optimization process is presented. From the measured performance of an untuned sample, the amount of adjustment to be tuned is calculated. The experimental results for a five-resonator filter show the great advantage of this method, which reduces the tuning time from several hours to 5 min. A reference table of the relation between a trimming amount and a frequency change prepared in the program would reduce the computation time even more.<>
