Integrated filter design flow enables users of FilterSolutions software to export results directly into CST Studio Suite. User is able to manipulate the pole and zero crossings of the filter prior to exporting the filter design. Once exported, a block schematic representation is automatically produced as a basis of an automatically created 3D model. Using CST Microwave Studio Method of Moments-based multilayer solver, a 3D analysis of the filter can be performed.
