Abstract
In this paper, a modified triple-tuned microstrip bandpass filter is presented. The filter consists of inductively cross-coupled resonators tuned with varactors. The application of the additional source-load couplings together with resonator branch swapping results in two transmission zeros tuned concurrently with operating frequency. These transmission zeros placed on both sides of the passband significantly increase slope steepness in transition bands. The example filter tuned from 0.36 to 0.78 GHz and controlled by a single voltage was manufactured and validated by measurements. It has a constant fractional bandwidth of 11%, low in-band insertion loss ranging from 1.8 to 2.5 dB, and out-of-band attenuation up to 5 GHz without parasitic passbands. The obtained filter parameters made it useful for preselector networks.
