Abstract
A printed circuit board (PCB) embedded filter is utilized to provide a low-pass filter characteristic using minimal lumped circuit elements. Microstrips extend on top layer of the PCB to conductive vias to form a first series connected inductive element, while microstrips extend from conductive vias to conductive vias to form a second series connected inductive element. Shunt capacitance is employed on a lower layer using striplines extending outwardly and symmetrically from conductive vias. An absorption circuit is implemented using microstrips on back layer of the PCB and capacitive plates on inner layers of the PCB. A surface mount resistor may be installed between pads to complete the absorption circuit.
