Abstract

In this paper, a nematic liquid crystal is used to design a compact tunable band-pass filter at microwave band. The structure and the principles of tunable filters with nematic liquid crystals are analyzed. According to simulation results of the transmission property, it shows that the proposed liquid crystal tunable filter keeps the many advantages of the conventional tunable filter and has better passband performance. The simulated and measured reaults show that the proposed tunable filter has additional advantages of being continuously tunable, miniaturizable, and having low processing costs and low tuning voltage. Therefore, it has shown greater potentials for modern wireless communication systems.
