Abstract-A switched Ku-band filter bank has been developed using two single-pole triple-throw (SP3T) microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) switching networks, and three fixed three-pole end-coupled bandpass filters. A tuning range of 17.7% from 14.9 to 17.8 GHz was achieved with a fractional bandwidth of 7.7 2.9%, and mid-band insertion loss ranging from 1.7 to 2.0 dB.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
