Abstract
Millimeter-wave reconfigurable bandpass filters with the ability to operate between 60 GHz and the E-band, capable of providing good channel isolation, are presented. A fully integrated filter with all reconfigurable elements embedded for compactness and a switchable filter that uses radio frequency micro-electro-mechanical system (RF MEMS) single-pole double-throw switches are designed. A new method that increases fractional bandwidths is introduced. It uses inductively coupled inverters without requiring their tuning. New circuit models are offered for inverters, reconfigurable resonators, and reconfigurable bandstop stubs. Our compact bandpass filter achieved a footprint of only 4.75 mm × 3.75 mm. Measurements for our filters show good agreement with the results of simulations.
