SINRD Filter Optimization using Heuristic Algorithm

In this paper, new SINRD designs are explored thanks to an original modelling method. A heuristic algorithm using this method is developed to reduce the number of holes in an SINRD filter. Simulations are processed with a modal modeling method called WCIP. Optimal results are successfully compared to measurements. The number of holes is reduced of 44% with comparable filter performances. Keywords: SINRD filter, heuristic algorithm.
