Tunable Low-Pass MEMS Filter Using Defected Ground Structures (DGS)

Abstract:

In this paper, fully monolithic tunable millimeter-wave filters using defected ground structures (DGS) are proposed using the CPW-based periodic structures with novel multiple-contact MEMS switches. Millimeter-wave low-pass filters were designed, fabricated, and tested. The cascaded CPW-based periodic structures, with low-pass intrinsic filtering characteristics, are reconfigured into a self-similar single unit cell by the operation of the novel multiple-contact MEMS switches with single actuation. In the first order tuning, the 3-dB cut-off frequency changes from 8.2GHz to10.5GHz, and the second order tuning is 8.2GHz to 16.8GHz. The tested results show that the pass-band ripple is less than 1.2dB and the maximal out-of-band rejection is better than 27dB. The chip size of the low-pass filter is 2.5mm×1.2mm.
