This article presents a miniaturized frequency‐agile bandpass filter (BPF) integrated single pole double throw (SPDT) switch using common LC resonator. The BPF‐integrated on‐sate channel is constituted by the capacitively coupled LC resonators with loaded varactor diodes and reverse‐biased p‐i‐n diodes. The off‐state channel with high suppression is built when the p‐i‐n diodes loaded LC resonators is forward‐biased. As an example, a frequency‐agile BPF‐integrated SPDT switch with constant 3‐dB fractional bandwidth of 18.4% is designed. Its fabricated circuit area including bias circuit but excluding feeding lines is 0.105 λg × 0.079 λg. Measured results show that its 3 dB operating frequency bandwidth covers from 0.499 to 1.077 GHz with in‐band insertion loss varying from 4.15 to 3.15 dB. Off‐state suppression better than 37.8 dB, port‐to‐port isolation better than 51.1 dB, and good return loss can be also observed.
