摘要
In this article, a compact dual-mode tunable wide bandstop filter with controllable bandwidth is presented. The proposed filter consists of an open-loop stepped-impedance resonator with a T open stub loaded. Varactor diodes C-v1 and C-v2 are loaded at two ends of the stepped-impedance resonator and the loaded T stub, respectively. By properly adjusting the capacitances C-v1 and C-v2 of the varactor diodes, the constant fractional bandwidth and constant absolute bandwidth can be achieved, respectively. A new dual-mode tunable wide bandstop filter with 61.0% constant fractional bandwidth and 2.0-GHz constant absolute bandwidth has been designed and fabricated to verify the validity of the proposed method. The measured results are in good agreement with the electromagnetic simulation.
