Can you tell me how
to find out the tapped point and tapped length in a Edge coupled tapped
line filter design?
I am trying to design a band pass filter
using Edge coupled tapped line structure.
The inputs I have
are impedances, Er, substrate information. I am not able to find out
the way to calculate tapped point and tapped length using all these
inputs.
Is there any way to find out the tapped length and tapped
point using ADS tool? If it is then how?

IEEE article titled "Microstrip Tapped-Line Filter Design" by Joseph
S. Wong. That article gives the design procedure and all the math behind
selecting the tap point.

you cannot locate that, a simple high-level approach is to set the internal
impedance level of the filter (say 200 ohms or whatever), which can
improve the design process. Then the tapping point is simply derived
from the ratio of internal and external (50 ohm) impedance, the end-line
characteristic Z, and the loaded Q of the input/output resonators. The
formula is
tap point = Len * ASIN(SQRT(PI*Zs/(4*Z0*Ql)))
where len is the length of the end resonator, Zs is the internal
impedance (100 ohm, 200 ohm or whatever) Z0 is the characteristic
impedance of the end resonator in its geometric environment and
Ql is the loaded Q of the end resonator, derived from graphs. The
process is described in the RSGB Microwave Handbook, a 3 volume set.
