Abstract :
Different examples of low loss, widely reconfigurable filters are shown. The first example concerns a 2 pole, tune all filter, built using five 3 bit switched varactors. The second example is about a 2 pole 2 bit switched filter built using appropriate distribution of switched capacitor along an hairpin resonator.
