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

The Prodigy interface gives you three variables to specify your desired filter: topology, center frequency, and bandwidth. It then displays a simulation of the insertion and return loss for the designed filter. Unlike the ideal predictions from purely mathematical models, Prodigy generates a real, manufacturable filter design with known dimensions and variables. Most importantly, Prodigy uses machine learning to calculate the real S-parameters of these filters, accounting for all 3D effects such as metal loss, parasitics, and cross coupling. The resulting design and its Touchstone file are delivered instantly via email, so you can evaluate real filter performance at the earliest stages of system design.

One important note about Prodigy: while it displays the majority of filters achievable for a given topology, it does not necessarily represent the best performance Marki can deliver for a given specification. For many requirements, Prodigy offers a highly cost- and time-effective path to a new filter. But when a specification exceeds what Prodigy can produce, Marki designers can apply additional techniques to make further trades between close-in rejection, far-out rejection, size, and insertion loss to meet more demanding requirements.
