IV. CONCLUSION
In conclusion, a design approaches for realizing the
varactor-tuned microwave reconfigurable BPF is
demonstrated. The presented approach aims for the bandwidth
reconfigurable BPF realized with simple open- and short stub
structures loaded with varactors. The demonstrated BPF has a
relatively low insertion loss and a wider FBW tuning range
with unchanged selectivity. More reconfigurable filter designs
will be presented at conference.
