Tool for designing Butterworth and Chebyshev filters
Designing passive LC-filters typically involves looking up prototype filter component values in a table in reference books like “Handbook of Filter Synthesis” by Zverev or “Design of Microwave Filters, Impedance-Matching Networks, and Coupling Structures” by Matthaei et. al., then transforming the values to produce a filter with the desired impedance and cut-off frequency. This can be a bit tedious and error prone, so when I found out about the classic Matthaei book, which is downloadable via the link above, and that it contains the math required to calculate the prototype filter component value tables, I set out to create a spreadsheet to help with the filter design.
In addition to calculating the (previously) magical prototype tables for Butterworth and Chebyshev (with user-specified pass-band ripple) filters, the spreadsheet also performs the frequency and impedance transformation for filters of orders from 1 to 10.
To make the design process even quicker and better, I added a feature to create LTSpiceschematics of the selected filter so that the filter properties can be simulated (and perhaps manually adapted to standard component values and to include parasitics) using LTSpice. I used the SI prefix formatting function I wrote about in the previous blog post to write out the component values in a pretty manner.
The usage of the spreadsheet should be fairly self-explanatory, but there are also usage instructions on the first tab. Basically, the user should fill out the values in yellow cells and leave the rest alone. I did not lock any cells, since I often get annoyed by spreadsheets with locked cells and I encourage others to modify and improve it.
Here is a link to the Excel 2002 file:

Make sure that macros are enabled if you want to use the LTSpice export features.
Here are some screenshots
