Title :
Multipassband electronically tunable magnetostatic wave filter
Abstract :
A new design for a multipassband microwave filter based on magnetostatic waves propagating in a multilayer planar ferrite structure is described. The experimentally realised filter had two passbands of 10 MHz bandwidth and 5-6 dB insertion loss separated by 400 MHz, and was tuned with an external magnetic field over the 2.5-4 GHz range.
