Abstract
The author describes notch filters whose center frequencies and maximum attenuation are variable. Three different types of such filters using varactor diodes and GaAs field-effect transistors (FETs) are proposed and tested at 2-4 GHz. The tunability over 2.2-4.0 GHz is obtained by changing the junction capacitances of the varactor diodes, and a maximum attenuation over 15-60 dB is obtained by changing the inner resistances of the FETs.<>
