Abstract:
A tunable lowpass to bandpass switchable filter is presented in this paper. The proposed structure consists of two concentric resonators. Alongwith varactors outer resonator is also loaded with a PIN diode switch. The switching conditions of the PIN diode 􀀀 OFF lead to lowpass filter (LPF) and ON lead to bandpass filter (BPF). At the ON condition of the switch, the outer resonator behaves as two resonators which are coupled to each other through two ways 􀀀 inductively coupled through via-hole and capacitively coupled through the varactor loaded between the resonators. The coupling-coefficient between the two grounded resonators are controlled using varactors to achieve constant fractional bandwidth (CFBW) tunability. The third CFBW tunable band with bandpass characteristic having three transmission zeros across the passband is achieved using inductively coupled inner resonators. A filter is designed, simulated and fabricated. The response shows a tunable LPF having tuning range of 0.55 to 1.4 GHz. One tunable CFBW bandpass response with a tuning range of 0.850 to 1.25 GHz, is achieved with a constant FBW of 64%. The third tunable band with bandpass filtering behavior is achieved with a tunable range of 1.04 GHz to 1.6 GHz with a CFBW of 13.4%. 

 
THE VISION
THE MISSION
ABOUT I-STEM
It has always been the basic tenet of the Government of India, in generously funding R&D efforts at academic institutions over the years, that facilities established through such support be made available to those needing them and qualified to make use of them for their own research work

However, this was never easy or straightforward for, among other reasons, there was no ready source of information of what facility was available and where. Thanks to the Web, it is much easier today to have a national and regional “inventory of resources”, so as to match users with the resources they need, and to do all this in an efficient and transparent manner.

This can lead to a leap in R&D productivity and greatly enhance the effectiveness of public investment. This is the motivation behind I-STEM.
