Abstract :
Tunable filters at RF and microwave frequencies can potentially place an important role in the implementation of future reconfigurable wireless systems.This paper provides a general review of several competing technologies in realizing high performance tunable filters with a slight focus on recent progress in the design and implementation of evanescent-mode cavity based filters with both frequency and bandwidth tuning capabilities.
