      The goal Cover the advanced RF/microwave filter design. Introduce filter design alternatives: image-parameter method and insertion-loss method. Provide essentials for designing RF/microwave filters with non-standard specifications, such as filters with several passbands and filters with a very wide passband or a wide first stopband.
      The outcome Understand advanced RF/microwave filter concepts and design stages. Identify nonstandard filter specifications and technological requirements. Design advanced microwave filters by synthesis, tuning and optimization. Verify the filter design by a full-wave 3D electromagnetic filter simulation.
