Abstract
In this paper, the design and development of PIN Diode based Switched Harmonic filter bank with Antenna Switch in V/UHF band for software defined radio(SDR) application is reported. This Design consists of six lowpass filters covering VHF to UHF frequency band. The lowpass filter suppresses the higher order harmonics generated in power amplifier to permissible limits. These filters are switched/selected using SP6T switch which is designed using PIN diodes in series/shunt configuration. At the output of harmonic filter bank, PIN diode based Antenna(Transmit/Receive) switch is included. The switch has an insertion loss of 0.3dB with transmit to receive port isolation better than 50dB.The switch filter bank with Antenna switch is capable of handling 50W RF power. The design and simulation is carried out using RF simulation software. The design is implemented and tested. This paper elaborates on the design aspects, implementation & engineering of the switched harmonic filter bank with Antenna switch.
