Microwave filters are designed using many techniques and procedures. This paper presents the exhaustive survey of the major techniques used in the design of microwave filters. These filters are used in various communications systems like satellites, earth stations, wireless base-stations and repeaters. This paper provides a brief review of the work in the field of Microstrip Filters. Phenomenal growth in the telecommunication industry in recent years has brought significant advances in filter technology as new communication systems emerged, demanding more stringent filter characteristics. The growth of the wireless communication industry has spurred tremendous activity in the area of microwave filter miniaturization, increasing power handling capabilities and has been responsible for many advances made in this field. In this paper a survey of the major techniques used in the design of microwave filters is presented. The theoretical and experimental work in different types of Microstrip Filters around the world is illustrated. It covers basic principles, methods, technology selection criteria, design trade off and application limitations.
