Abstract
This paper addresses the design of tunable RF MEMS (radio frequency micro-electro-mechanical systems) filters for millimeter wave applications. Based on an original topology, a tunable bandpass filter is designed in the 60 GHz frequency range. The tunable behavior is achieved using capacitive MEMS shunt switches. The overall filter is designed on membrane substrate in order to keep down the losses and the dispersion
