Microwave Planar Varactor Tuned Bandpass Filters: Historical Overview
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper overviews the history of a class of varactor tuned bandpass filters. Since the miniaturization as well as the high performance of the tunable bandpass filters is required for the next generation mobile communication systems, the discussion is focused on the various planar type tunable filters including active configurations. Brief design concepts of various tunable filter configurations as well as their characteristics are discussed.

Microwave Bandpass Filters Using Couplings With Defected Ground Structures
In this paper some novel types of microwave bandpass filters using defected ground structures are investigated. In the microstrip technology the use of defected ground structures (DGS) allows designs of filters with tight couplings, without the necessity of using very narrow coupling gaps. In multilayer filters DGS can be used as coupling elements between resonators, allowing very compact filte...
متن کاملTunable Diplexer for Cognitive Radio RF Front-end Modules
This paper describes the design and measurement of a varactor-tuned planar diplexer for reconfigurable multi-mode/multi-standard transceiver front-end modules. The proposed diplexer of 3 cm × 1.8 cm is composed of two tunable dual-mode bandpass filters with two varactor diodes. The diplexer channels are 8.8% relative bandwidth at 2.48 and 3.2 GHz for 25 V biased voltage, while 7.5% and 4.1% are...
متن کاملFrequency-tunable Bandpass Filters with Constant Absolute Bandwidth and Improved Linearity
This paper presents a frequency-tunable bandpass filter with constant absolute bandwidth and improved linearity. The proposed resonator is composed of an open-ended transmission line with back-to-back varactor diodes loaded at one end. The back-to-back varactor diodes are used to enhance the linearity of the filter, which is better than that of the single varactor counterparts. A mixed electric...
متن کاملMicrowave Compact Filters Using Multilayer Structures
This paper is dedicated mainly to the study of couplings between planar resonators in multilayer structures with modified (defected) ground plane. Couplings between two miniaturized resonators are investigated, by full electromagnetic field simulation. Based on the results of this study, several models of planar microwave bandpass filters, with a single or with two apertures, are designed, veri...
متن کاملAn Overview of Microwave Bandpass Filters with Capacitive Coupled Resonators
This paper presents a summary of several bandpass filters all consisting of resonators coupled only by capacitive coupling. The basic filter’s configuration with asymmetric inductors is explained in detail as well as its modifications with asymmetric capacitors. The filter’s design process is undemanding due to the filter’s simple configuration, while its compact size makes it suitable for inte...
