Abstract :
A miniature optically reconfigurable ultra-wideband CPW bandpass filter is proposed. With the optical switch in the ON state (200W), the circuit behaves as a bandpass filter while in the OFF state (0W), the circuit behaves as a bandstop filter within the same frequency band. The simulation results of the proposed bandpass/bandstop filter are presented.
