In recent years, the demand for wireless devices incorporating several wireless communication systems into one has been increasing in order to provide services that meet the diverse needs of consumers. Wireless devices consisting of various wireless communication systems require many frequency fixed filters. A frequency tunable filter can replace a number of frequency fixed filters in the wireless devices. If a frequency tunable filter is used in wireless systems, the system can be configured more efficiently. In this paper, a 3-pole frequency tunable BPF(bandpass filter) operating in the frequency band of 800 ~ 2400MHz is designed. In order to widen the operating frequency band, a tuning screw is designed to have a step and a linear motor is used to facilitate the adjustment of the tuning screw. The implemented frequency tunable BPF operates in the designed frequency range and has the maximum insertion loss of 2.82dB in the channel band and the minimum attenuation of 18.7dB at ± 50MHz frequency offset from the center frequency of the band.

This paper presented a novel approach for the design of a tunable dual-band bandpass filter (BPF) with independently tunable passband center frequencies and bandwidths. The newly proposed dual-band filter principally comprised two dual-mode single band filters using common input/output lines. Each single BPF was realized using a varactor-loaded transmission line resonator. To suppress the harmonics over a broad bandwidth, a defected ground structure was used at the input/output feeding lines. From the experimental results, it was found that the proposed filter exhibited the first passband center frequency tunable range from 1.48 to 1.8 GHz with a 3-dB fractional bandwidth (FBW) variation from 5.76% to 8.55%, while the second passband center's frequency tunable range was 2.40 to 2.88 GHz with a 3-dB FBW variation from 8.28% to 12.42%. The measured results of the proposed filters showed a rejection level of 19 dB up to more than 10 times the highest center frequency of the first passband.

In these days, interest of systems and services using TVWS(TV White Space) are increased, communication systems and services for TVWS have been actively studied. The unoccupied frequency in TVWS is different according to the geographical location and the time of day. RF systems having a frequency tunable bandpass filter operated in TVWS could be efficiently used. In this paper, a frequency tunable bandpass filter operated in 470 ~ 698MHz is designed and implemented. In consideration of simple control and physical size, the tunable bandpass filter is designed with 2-pole. The implemented tunable bandpass filter has the operating frequency band of 470 ~ 698MHz with control voltages of 1.58 ~ 3.93V, the insertion loss of maximum 4.78dB and the return loss of below 10dB. The implemented frequency tunable bandpass filter can be directly used in the RF receiver for TVWS and the design procedures could be used for developing a high power tunable bandpass filter as the basic research data.

A frequency stable and tunable optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) incorporating an optical phase shifter and a phase-shifted fiber Bragg grating (PS-FBG) is designed and analyzed. The frequency tunability of the OEO can be realized by using a tunable microwave photonic bandpass filter consisting of a PS-FBG, a phase modulator. The optical phase compensation loop is used to compensate for the phase variations of the RF signal from the OEO by adjusting an optical phase shifter. Simulation results demonstrate that the output RF signals of the OEO can be tuned in a frequency range of 118 MHz to 24.092 GHz. When the ambient temperature fluctuates within ±3.9 ℃, the frequency drifts of the output RF signals are less than 68 Hz, the side-mode suppression ratios are more than 69.39 dB, and the phase noise is less than -92.49 dBc/Hz at a 10 kHz offset frequency.

A tunable low-phase-noise microwave generation structure that utilizes an optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) and a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated in this article. This structure has no particular requirement for the band width of the laser, and its tunability is realized through adjusting the central frequency of the tunable FBG. A detailed theoretical analysis is established and confirmed via an experiment. A high-purity microwave signal with a frequency tunable from 6 to 12 GHz is generated. The single-sideband phase noise of the generated signal at 10.2 GHz is -117.2 dBc/Hz, at a frequency offset of 10 kHz.

This paper proposes that an inverse class-E amplifier is used a tunable parallel resonator at output port in order to maintain a high power-added efficiency(PAE) and output power with wide frequency ranges. A tunable circuit has a constant Q factor at operating frequency ranges and because of using varactor diode, the inductor and capacitor values of resonator can be changed. Also, the inductance value for zero-current switching (ZCS) is implemented a lumped element and the capacitance value is made a distributed element for phase compensation. The inverse class E amplifier using tunable parallel resonator is obtained to deliver 25dBm output power and achieve maximum power added efficiency(PAE) of 75% at 65-120MHz frequency ranges.

In this paper, a triple-mode frequency-tunable filter is proposed to meet the recent demands of various frequency bands of mobile communication services. This filter has a tunable structure that can adjust the resonance frequency using a variable capacitor. To improve the quality factor, a SIW(Substrate Integrated Waveguide) structure was introduced and a structure that induces three resonance modes was implemented through a circular hole located in the center. The change in electric field distribution and resonance frequency by the variable capacitor was simulated using HFSS, and the change in electric field distribution and resonance frequency of Triple Mode mode was confirmed.

A semidynamic frequency divide-by-1.5 MMIC comprises a tunable polyphase filter, tunable image-rejection mixer, and a static divide-by-2 in the feedback path. Wideband suppression of unwanted tones is achieved by employing a tunable image-rejection mixer and a tunable single-stage polyphase filter. Implemented in GaInP/GaAs HBT technology, the divide-by-1.5 MMIC operates over the input frequency range of 4.5 to 9.2 GHz with better than -20 dBc suppressions of $1/3{\times}f_{in}\;and\;f_{in}$ tones, while dissipating 29 mA from 4.1 V supply.

A flexible and tunable microwave photonic filter based on adjustable optical frequency comb source is demonstrated. We use a combination of a dual parallel Mach Zehnder modulator and an intensity modulator to generate fifteen comb lines with proper weights to implement a desired filter. The optical comb weights, corresponding to the tap coefficients of the filter, are flexibly changed by adjusting the operation parameters of the modulators. The achieved bandwidth and stopband attenuation of the tunable filter are 0.7 GHz and 20 dB, respectively. In addition, we overcome the undesired low frequency suppression appeared in a conventional scheme by applying a dual parallel Mach Zehnder modulator for single sideband suppressed carrier modulation.

Carbon Nanotube have been proposed for use in various applications for electromechanical systems. Nano-electromechanical resonators which provide high frequency resolution and long energy storage time, play an important role in wide area fields of science and engineering. Using the control of tension in carbon nanotube, can be made the tunable resonator. In the study, we analysis the tunable frequency change of resonator by tension changes due to the rotation angles of the single-walled carbon nanotube resonator. The frequency characteristics of a resonator as a function of the rotation angle. The tension was found to decrease with increasing rotation angle, and therefore the resonance frequencies could be changed by controlling the single-walled carbon nanotube rotation angle. The resonance frequencies decreased with increasing angle, and when the rotation angle was greater than $60^{\circ}$, these changes were marked.
