The matching on the PCB does slightly differ from the theoretical matching. The reason for
that are parasitics of the PCB and of the transformers.
But if the parasitics on the customer board (mentioned parasitics, additional parasitics of
active parts) are different to this PCB the matching elements have to be slightly adjusted.
Both in line and shunt elements change both pass band tilt and pass band ripple. But
- The in line coils mainly influences the pass band ripple a decrease of the inductance of the in
line coils will decrease pass band ripple or change a round pass band shape towards a flat
one
- The shunt capacitors mainly influences the pass band tilt an increase of the capacity value
will change the tilt to lower attenuation on the high frequency side of the pass band
The coupling coil mainly influences the bandwidth in pass band of the filter.
The optimum value for the coupling coil is L5 = 49nH (C3=0). This value is not standard, so it
has been used a combination of L5 and C3 standard values.
