Implementation of Tuneable Filter Using CPW Coupled Line and Varactor Diode

  • 발행 : 2006.11.30

초록

This study investigated a new tuneable bandpass filter based on coplanar waveguide coupled line structure, and using the varactor diode for tuning the center frequency of the filter. The filter was designed by a commercial simulator and had a tuning range of 180[MHz] from 0.95[GHz] to 1.13[GHz]. The filter acceptable values regarding the insertion loss was less than 3[dB] and its return loss greater than 12[dB]. The figure of merit of the implemented tuneable filter increased with the reverse bias voltage up to 14[V] on the varactor diode. The proposed filter has a promising future as it can be used in integration processes and in various materials as substrate.
