Abstract
A switchable filter structure using transmission lines switched by means of PIN diodes permits to obtain according to the bias diode state either a transfer function band-stop or a transfer function pseudo all pass. This switchable filter consists of : quarter-wave open-circuited lines separated by quarter-wave series lines, beam lead PIN diodes and biasing circuits. It is well suited for M. I. C. technology. A device operating up to 18 GHz has been realized on alumina substrate using a microstrip propagation mode. An application of this kind of switchable band-stop filter is the second harmonic suppression in wide band system.
