Abstract
In order to satisfy user's requirements of needs for various services and to efficiently use of frequency, a communication system using one platform can support many communication services. Tunable filters must be used in the front end of broadband communication systems which provide and support various communication methods. In this paper we design and implement a filter bank to verify the feasibility of cavity tunable filter with the operation frequency of 800 MHz ~ 1600 MHz. The filter bank is composed of five bandpass filters and each bandpass filter has the same operation frequency band of the tunable filter. The implemented filter bank has the maximum insertion loss of 0.326 dB, the bandwidth of 37 MHz ~ 84 MHz, and the attenuation of minimum 19.974dB and mximum 37.812dB at the band edge ${\pm}60MHz$ over the operating frequency band.
