A planar vertically-integrated tunable filter/antenna with constant absolute bandwidth
2017 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium (IMS), 2017This paper presents a vertically-integrated second-order tunable planar filter/antenna that expands upon previous work with tunable filter/antennas. This work demonstrates the use of a radiating element as a resonator in the filter and uses mixed electric and magnetic coupling to achieve a constant absolute bandwidth over the filter tuning range ...

Varactor-tuned superconducting filter with constant absolute bandwidth at VHF-band
Physica C: Superconductivity and its Applications, 2015Abstract A four-pole superconducting tunable filter at VHF-band with constant absolute bandwidth is proposed. The resonator consists of a spiral-in-spiral-out (SISO) resonator with one end shorted to ground and the other end loaded with a varactor diode.

Compact Reconfigurable Dual-Band Bandpass Filter with Constant Absolute Bandwidth
2018 International Conference on Microwave and Millimeter Wave Technology (ICMMT), 2018A compact dual-band bandpass filter (BPF) based on stepped impedance resonator (SIR) and defected-feeding structure is investigated in this paper. The SIR with T-stub centrally loaded provides more degrees of freedom to adjust the dual-band resonant frequencies.

A Fourth Order Constant Absolute Bandwidth Tunable Bandpass Filter with Cross-Coupling
2019 IEEE MTT-S International Wireless Symposium (IWS), 2019A cross-coupled tunable filter with constant absolute bandwidth (CABW) is proposed in this paper. Coupling matrix is used to calculate the coupling coefficient of the tunable filter. Varactor-loaded resonator with separate electric dominant and magnetic dominant coupling region is employed to realize the cross-coupled topology.
