This article presents a novel compact widely tunable bandpass filter. The filter consists of
two resonators that are double-coupled, inductively, where the coupling inductances are
elements of the input and output networks. The application of double-coupling enabled the
transmission zero next to the upper cutoff frequency. This makes the filter useful for
applications in preselector networks used in receiving systems with a low to intermediate
frequency with the desired channel frequency lower than the image channel frequency. The …
This article presents a novel compact widely tunable bandpass filter. The filter consists of two resonators that are double-coupled, inductively, where the coupling inductances are elements of the input and output networks. The application of double-coupling enabled the transmission zero next to the upper cutoff frequency. This makes the filter useful for applications in preselector networks used in receiving systems with a low to intermediate frequency with the desired channel frequency lower than the image channel frequency. The article shows the practical realisation of the varactor-tuned example filter fabricated as a microstrip planar network of an overall size of 0.03λg × 0.045λg. The tuning range of the proposed filter is from 410 MHz to 880 MHz with the fractional bandwidth equal to 7.5–8.1% and an in-band insertion loss better than −3.4 dB. The achieved IP3 value exceeds 17.5 dBm.
