  • Abstract
    This paper focus on the design of MEMS distributed tunable millimeter wave filters. A two pole filter continuously tunable in bandwidth and in frequency with constant input/output impedance is described. The center frequency can be tuned from 37.8 GHz to 40.4 GHz and the bandwidth can be changed from 1.6 GHz to 1 GHz with constant return losses.
