Abstract

This session is composed of innovative tunable and active filters. The first paper will discuss a non-reciprocal bandpass filter using spatio-temporal modulation. In addition, a tunable six-channel diplexer with compact size will be presented. An N-path filter with frequency/code-domain filtering, a balanced-balanced tunable filtering LNA, an electronically-reconfigurable doublet topology, and a liquid-metal-tuning bandpass filter will also be presented.

Abstract

This session will showcase reconfigurable filters with reconfigurable transfer functions and stopbands. An innovative filter topology that enables independent tuning and seamless merging of multiple passbands will be discussed. In addition, a filter that utilizes a single tuning element to create a response with minimum variation in absolute bandwidth and Q will be presented. A novel method using dual-mode cavities to create transmission zeros, a folded ridge waveguide dual-band tunable bandstop filter, and a filter using a resonant inverter structure will also be presented.

Abstract

Microwave Acoustic Resonators and Filters are key components in the RF frontend carrier aggreation architectures in mobile phones for frequency duplexing and filtering. Laterally excited bulk wave and fin bulk resonators are attractive for 5G applications. For full-duplex architectures non-reciprocal acoustic filters and acoustic delay-element-based sequentially switched delay-line circulators are presented. Finally, tunable frequency agile resonators are presented with a potential to reduce the ever increasing complexity of the RF frontends.

Abstract

In this session, a filter synthesis-based frequency dependent coupling scheme for dual-band filters in presented. A multi-band differential bandpass filter using common-mode suppression for higher stopband rejection and a multi-band bandpass filter design using a reflected group delay method are featured. Next, an absorptive filter using a complementary duplexer is introduced for a negative group delay response. Finally, a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) filter is described, giving size reduction for mm-wave applications.
