Abstract
This paper provides a new method to implement substrate integrated defected ground structure (SIDGS)-based bandpass filter (BPF) with adjustable frequency and controllable bandwidth. Compared with previous literature, this method implements a new SIDGS-like resonator capable of tunable frequency in the same plane as the slotted line using a varactor diode, increasing the design flexibility. In addition, the method solves the problem that the tunable BPF constituted by the SIDGS resonator cannot control the bandwidth by introducing a T-shaped non-resonant unit. The theoretical design method and the structural design are shown. Moreover, the configured structure is fabricated and measured to show the validity of the design method in this paper.
