Abstract
In this paper, an electrically small tunable microstrip bandpass filter with two concurrently tuned transmission zeros (TZs) is presented. The filter consists of two coupled resonators and varactors as tuning elements. An application of a multipath coupling network results in TZs on both sides of the passband. The filter controlled by a single voltage has a wide tuning range from 370 MHz to 800 MHz and a low insertion loss ranging from 1.9 dB to 3.4 dB. To achieve high attenuation in the stopband, two sections of the designed filter were cascaded. Both one-section and two-section filters were validated by measurements. The obtained results are in a very good agreement with simulations.
