Abstract

There is an increasingly high demand for compact, low-loss reconfigurable filters in various advanced wireless applications: cognitive radios, modern transceivers, and antijamming communication systems, to name a few [1]. With reconfigurable filters, wireless communication systems that require multiple operating frequency bands can be implemented in a smaller size and at a reduced cost compared to conventional systems using multiple single-frequency filters. Bandpass filters provide a better RF performance compared to low-pass or high-pass filters, resulting in improved signal-to-noise ratio and out-of-band performance [2].
