Last Time...
Discussed different types of filters
Butterworth
Chebyshev
Elliptical
Discussed time delay of a circuit
Be aware of phase wrapping
Network analyzers often give differential time delay
Demonstrated that discrete components cannot be used to build
filters at microwave frequencies
Primarily due to parasitics

We have now scaled the termination impedance but the filter still has
a cutoff frequency of 1 rad/s
