In view on this change of filter performance by the deviation of circuit component parameter values from its design values, the concept of robust optimization design for the passive filter circuit is presented. The function, that is to minimize the ripples and maximal variations of system performance is chosen as the objective function. The optimization strategy by combining random direction searching method with compound optimum was adopted for solving this nonlinear programming problem with two-level optimization. This theory is used on an 800MHz transmitter bandpass filter circuit. By comparing with original design and conventional optimization, passband performance of the robust optimized circuit is more flat and its fluctuation is more small when component parameters change within their rated tolerance. So filter performance of the circuit is improved, and the method mentioned in this paper is effective and superior.
