In addition, the proposed coupling topology introduces multiple transmission zeros providing high frequency selectivity and good out-of-band rejection. The proposed switchable filter is implemented with two passbands centered at 2.90GHz and 4.79GHz with a low insertion loss of 1.2 dB and 1.1 dB, respectively, providing band-edge steepness over 97.7 dB/GHz.

To confront the challenge, in this paper, a high-efficiency on-chip measurement system for the mm Wave/terahertz high-resolution phase shifter is proposed. Based on the VNA and the probe station, we develop a multifunction platform to automatically change the operation state of the under-test phase shifter, and construct the coding to render the PC to control the measurement process.
