  Laboratory #5:  RF Filter Design  
   
  I. 
  OBJECTIVES 
   
  A. Design a third order low-pass Chebyshev filter with a cutoff frequency of 330 MHz and 3 dB 
  ripple with equal terminations of 50 Ω using: 
  (a)  discrete components (pick reasonable values for the capacitors) 
  (b) What is the SWR of the filter in the passband (pick 100 MHz and 330 MHz)? 
   
  B. Design a third order high-pass Chebyshev filter with a cutoff frequency of 330 MHz and 3  
  dB ripple with equal terminations of 50 Ω using: 
  (a)  discrete components (pick reasonable values for the capacitors) 
  (b) What is the SWR of the filter in the passband (pick 330 MHz and 500 MHz)? 
  (c) What does the SWR do outside the passband?

  INTRODUCTION 
   
   
  Signal filtering is often central to the design of many communication subsystems.  The isolation 
  or elimination of information contained in frequency ranges is of critical importance.  In simple 
  amplitude modulation (AM) radio receivers, for exam
