Abstract

A tunable bandpass filters with low insertion loss, sharp cut-off characteristics, wide bandwidth and wide tunability is strongly expected for future reconfigurable and cognitive wireless systems. We have demonstrated a wideband tunable filter with the center frequency of 1.08 GHz by directly integrating Love wave resonators and electrostatically-actuated MEMS variable capacitors on a 15 ° Y LiNbO 3 wafer. The Love wave resonators have an extremely large electromechanical coupling coefficient (k2 ∼ 30 %), providing wide bandwidth and wide tuning range. We confirmed that the 3 dB bandwidth was tuned from 146 MHz to 130 MHz by applying 15 V to one of the MEMS variable capacitors.
