DOWNLOAD PAGE

AADE Filter Design is FREE for download

Version 4.0 added two new types of SSB crystal ladder filters described in an article " Modern Network Theory Design of Single-Sideband Crystal Ladder Filters, M. Dishal, Proceedings of the IEEE December 1963"

Version 4.11 adds the ability to store up to six sets of crystal parameters from your collection of crystals.

That way you don't have to re-enter them everytime you want to design a crystal filter.

Adds a little more to the crystal filter tutorial in the HELP file.

4.2 adds the ability for odd order Elliptic filters to have user specified input / output impedances that are different.

4.3 is an update to the HELP file. update is optional.

4.4 adds a "troubleshooting installation" item to the HELP menu No change to program so if yours works you don't need this.

Since nobody seems to read the web troubleshooting information I have put it in the program as well.

TROUBLESHOOTING those rare problems

For Windows XP, Some functions of Filter Design may not work when the program is launched from the START menu or desktop icon.

If so, delete the desktop icon and remove the program from the start menu.
Browse to the program, C:\program files\filter\filter.exe, right click on it, create a shortcut and put it on the desk top.
Also you can right click on the desktop shortcut and PIN it to the start menu.

HLink is no longer required for new downloads so this problem will not exist.

If, after installing filter.exe, you get the error message
"componet hlink.ocx or one of this dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid"
: If that does not fix it then goto START then RUN and manually register it.

if the file is not found then: download HLink.zip unzip it into C:\window\system32
After that you should see a message that the file was registered successfully.

You try to open the help file and notice a weird error message Cannot open the file:Mk:@MSITStore:\Filter\fdhelp.chm.

The problem is caused by the file hhctrl.ocx located in your System32 folder and most likely has been overwritten by an application with an incompatible version.
download a working version : hhctrl.zip
When you have it on your computer, just unzip it into your c:\windows\system32\ folder and overwrite the old version.
Then, go to your start Menu and select Run and manually register it.:

$regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\hhctrl.ocx$
After that you should see a message that the file was registered successfully.
