00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.150
>> Now, let's talk about
the two Band-pass Filters.

00:00:03.150 --> 00:00:05.370
See we have two band pass filters right

00:00:05.370 --> 00:00:07.500
here that are coming out
of this power splitter.

00:00:07.500 --> 00:00:11.605
One is at 2.4 gigahertz and
the other is at 2.6 gigahertz,

00:00:11.605 --> 00:00:14.460
and that's because we're using
these for the zero and the

00:00:14.460 --> 00:00:18.360
one of our digital system.

00:00:18.360 --> 00:00:19.830
So at the moment,

00:00:19.830 --> 00:00:24.810
we don't know if our signal is 2.4 or
2.6 gigahertz gets one or the other.

00:00:24.810 --> 00:00:26.420
So we have a filter at the top,

00:00:26.420 --> 00:00:30.570
that's 2.4 and so at
the bottom that passes 2.6.

00:00:30.570 --> 00:00:32.070
If you look really closely,

00:00:32.070 --> 00:00:33.840
you will see that
these lines that are going

00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:35.660
along like this are not actually attached,

00:00:35.660 --> 00:00:37.590
see there's actually a hole between

00:00:37.590 --> 00:00:41.100
these two lines look really closely
and see if I can zoom in on that.

00:00:41.100 --> 00:00:44.630
You are here to see those lines
really are not attached.

00:00:44.630 --> 00:00:47.480
The signal goes through because
it's high frequency and it

00:00:47.480 --> 00:00:50.240
actually couples across
these capacitive gaps,

00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:51.950
each of these gaps are capacitive.

00:00:51.950 --> 00:00:56.405
When we model these filters
or when we design them,

00:00:56.405 --> 00:00:59.660
they are a series of
inductors and capacitors.

00:00:59.660 --> 00:01:02.780
This is actually a picture of
how those circuits are designed.

00:01:02.780 --> 00:01:06.725
They are capacitor, inductor,
capacitor, inductor and so on.

00:01:06.725 --> 00:01:09.155
You'll learn to design
these circuits when you take

00:01:09.155 --> 00:01:11.450
a good signal processing class and to

00:01:11.450 --> 00:01:14.345
build them in this particular form
in microwave engineering.

00:01:14.345 --> 00:01:16.610
But they are just a series of inductors and

00:01:16.610 --> 00:01:20.700
capacitors that make up a band-pass filter.
