In this paper, we present high temperature characteristics of a tunable all-optical filter using fiber Bragg grating(FBG) filter in Ge doped and Ge & B co-doped fiber, including peak reflectivity, bandwidth and various normalized refractive index change with temperature variation. The reflection spectrum of a FBG filter with refractive index change is affected by its thermal stability. Consequently Ge doped FBG tunable filter has a better thermal stability than Ge & B co-doped FBG tunable filter. Also, both FBG tunable filters show good thermal stability up to about $500^{\circ}C$.

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.

In this paper, we proposed the new wavelength tunable filter for wide tunability of fiber ring laser. The proposed filter consists of the cascaded connection of Fiber Reflection Mach-Zehnder Interferometer and Sagnac filter or of hybrid filter and fiber Reflection Mach-Zehnder Interferometer. The simulation shows that the continuous tunable range of 50nm can be obtained and that more stable single mode operation of ring laser can be expected due to narrow FWHM. of filter spectrum.

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.

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.

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.

A novel tunable bandstop filter was proposed. It is composed of a right-handed transmission line, which has lowpass characteristics, and a left-handed transmission line which has highpass characteristics. Dispersion relations for the unit cells of RHTL and LHTL were derived by the method of ABCD parameter analysis. Varactor diodes and chip inductors were used to make the unit cells of RHTL and LHTL. A tunable bandstop filter was designed and fabricated by the parallel connection of RHTL and LHTL. The measured results of the proposed tunable bandstop filter are agreed well with the simulated results.

A tunable filter incorporating an apodized grating with a high-refractive-index polymer layer is demonstrated. In the apodized tunable filter, the reflectivity is decreased compared to that of a uniform grating, because of the gradually decreased grating depth. To increase the reflectivity of the apodized grating, a polymer of high refractive index is adopted for the apodized grating, and then high reflectivity is obtained while maintaining a narrow bandwidth. The apodized tunable filter exhibits a 3-dB bandwidth of 0.51 nm and a 20-dB bandwidth of 1.05 nm, with 98.5% reflection.
