Title:
A TUNEABLE MICROWAVE FILTER AND A TUNEABLE MICROWAVE MULTIPLEXER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/174424
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A tuneable microwave filter having a passband and a stopband with a substantially constant passband bandwidth across a tuneable band, the filter comprising a plurality of resonators, each resonator having an equivalent electrical circuit comprising a short circuited stub in parallel with a capacitor; the resonators being etectrically coupled together such that each resonator is electrically coupled to at least one other resonator by an electrical coupling equivalent to a short circuited stub; each short circuited stub being dimensioned such that its electrical length Θ varies between 2π/9 and 13π/36 or a portion of that range across the tuneable band.
