Abstract
In this paper, RF varactor diode are applied to the design of miniaturized and tunable bandstop filter. The proposed bandstop filter is based on a Defected Ground Structure(DGS) section topology. The designed tunable bandstop filter can achieve a significant size reduction by with loading capacitance component of varactor diode. It is observed from the measured results that the proposed tunable bandstop filter shows a wide tuning range of 42.9 % from 1.01 GHz to 1.99 GHz. The rejection level in the stopband is higher as the number of DGS section increases. In case of the proposed tunable bandstop filter with two DGS sections, the rejection level of the filter is better than 20 dB in the stopband during the tuning. In this case, the maximum insertion loss in the lower passband is 0.5 dB.
