✦ Synopsis
In this paper, three topologies of microwa¨e acti¨e recur-si¨e filters are studied. We show how, using a noise wa¨e formalism, the noise factor of filters can be effecti¨ely minimized by using appropriate unbalanced power di¨idersrcombiners and an amplifier. A comparison between the different topologies is gi¨en. We ¨alidate our approach with simulated examples.

A theoretical analysis of the optimum noise figure for two topologies of recursi¨e acti¨e filters is presented. Our results show that it is important to consider the losses of the passi¨e couplers and the filter Q-¨alue when selecting the recursi¨e acti¨e filter topology with the lowest possible noi
