Prodigy™ Filter Designer brings MMIC filter design capability directly to you, by allowing you to design a filter at any center frequency and bandwidth within the operating range of a given topology.

The Prodigy interface gives the user three variables to select the desired filter: topology, center frequency, and bandwidth. The interface then shows a simulation of the insertion and return loss for the designed filter. In contrast to the ideal filter prediction given by the mathematical models, Prodigy Filter Designer creates a real designed filter, with known design variables and size. Most importantly, Prodigy uses machine learning to calculate the real S-parameters of the designed filters with all undesirable 3D effects (like metal loss, parasitics, and cross coupling) included. This design and its Touchstone file are available instantly via email so you can accommodate the real filter performance at the initial stages of a system design.

One important note about your use of Prodigy: while it can display every filter achievable for a given topology, it does not necessarily display the best performance Marki can achieve for a given filter spec. The performance of Prodigy filters will be sufficient for many requirements, and it is a very cost effective way to create a new filter. But when Prodigy is unable to produce a filter to meet a given requirement, there are additional techniques Marki designers can use to make further trades between close in rejection, far out rejection, size, and insertion loss to meet more exacting requirements.
