A New Class of Low-Loss High-Linearity Electronically Reconfigurable Microwave Filter

A novel electronically reconfigurable microwave bandpass filter based on a switched delay-line approach is presented. In contrast to conventional tunable filters, the approach enables the lossy and nonlinear switching elements to be used as part of the coupling elements rather than within the resona...
