Abstract
A novel low-loss tunable filter using its own coupled lines is proposed in the paper. The filter is based on a substrate-integrated suspended line (SISL) structure with two inner layers, fabricated on a low-cost FR4 substrate. The suspension line and the cavity are completely covered by copper. In the novel structure, the coupled line can be tuned and has a variable coupling coefficient. The performance of the dual-band filter can be flexibly tuned by using the coupled lines. The passband widths can be tuned independently with the range from 0.31 to 0.92 GHz. The center frequencies of the passbands can also be tuned independently, with the tuning range of 1.1 GHz. A low insertion loss of less than 0.54 dB is shown in the proposed filter. The proposed filter shows potential application in future tunable microwave circuit.
期刊介绍：
International Journal of RF and Microwave Computer-Aided Engineering provides a common forum for the dissemination of research and development results in the areas of computer-aided design and engineering of RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave components, circuits, subsystems, and antennas. The journal is intended to be a single source of valuable information for all engineers and technicians, RF/microwave/mm-wave CAD tool vendors, researchers in industry, government and academia, professors and students, and systems engineers involved in RF/microwave/mm-wave technology.
Multidisciplinary in scope, the journal publishes peer-reviewed articles and short papers on topics that include, but are not limited to. . .
-Computer-Aided Modeling
-Computer-Aided Analysis
-Computer-Aided Optimization
-Software and Manufacturing Techniques
-Computer-Aided Measurements
-Measurements Interfaced with CAD Systems
In addition, the scope of the journal includes features such as software reviews, RF/microwave/mm-wave CAD related news, including brief reviews of CAD papers published elsewhere and a "Letters to the Editor" section.
