Dual-Band Bandpass Filter with Independently Tunable Passbands and Wide Stopband

Progress In Electromagnetics Research Letters, Vol. 49, 1-8, 2014
Abstract
This paper presents a dual-mode stub loaded ring resonator (SLRR) to design a tunable dual-band bandpass filter (BPF) with two independently controllable passbands. The proposed resonator principally comprises a stepped-impedance ring resonator (SIRR) loaded with three stubs and two varactor diodes. Two independently tunable passbands are implemented by employing two varactors to control the dominant even-mode resonant frequency and odd-mode resonant frequency, respectively. Moreover, a new stub loaded double-ring resonator (SLDRR) is proposed to design the second tunable dual-band filter by shorting two stubs of the SLRR. With the same tuning method, the second filter can achieve two independently controllable passbands. In order to suppress the harmonics, defected ground structures (DGSs) are introduced at input and output feeding lines without degrading the passbands characteristics. The simulated and measured results are found in good agreement with each other.
