  • Abstract
    Ring resonators incorporating negative resistance circuits for loss compensation are studied for use as high Q tunable MMIC resonators. The design of a 13 GHz MMIC bandpass filter together with a background theoretical analysis, are presented. Simulation results indicate unloaded Q-factors of 1000 over 1 GHz tuning bandwidth.
