Design and Simulation of K Band RF MEMS Tunable Combline Filter

Abstract:

Tunable bandpass filters are generally preferred and are used extensively in the mobile communication systems. In this paper, a design of the RF MEMS tunable combline bandpass filter is proposed. Firstly, the theory of the RF MEMS tunable combline bandpass filter is presented. Secondly, a combline bandpass filter which have a tunable frequency range from 18GHz to 27GHz is designed and simulated by using the EDA simulation software. Its bandwidth is about 1GHz in the tunable frequency range. From the simulation results, the designed filter is not only compact and effortless to fabricate but also relatively superior in some aspects.
