  • Abstract
    A bandpass filter able to electrically fine tune selectivity is presented. The reconfigurable filter topology has four poles and a quasi-elliptic bandpass filter response. The device is tuned by pin diodes which select tiny stubs that reconfigure filter selectivity without degrading filter return loss throughout the passband. Simulations and measurements are in good agreement.
