They are widely used in various applications such as wireless communication, imaging, and satellite systems. The ability to adjust the center frequency and bandwidth of a TBPF makes it a highly versatile and efficient device.Recently, a team of researchers has developed a low-loss tunable evanescent-mode cavity bandpass filter with one-octave (6-12 GHz) tuning range. The researchers, Cho, YS; Joshi, H; Liu, X; Sigmarsson, HH; Chappell, WJ; and Peroulis, D, presented their work in a paper that describes their implementation of a new coaxial-feed structure in the tunable BPF to achieve very low-insertion loss with wideband operation across the entire tuning range.The achieved insertion loss is less than 0.5 dB, which is quite impressive. The 3-dB fractional bandwidth varies from 6.1% at 6 GHz to 12% at 12 GHz. The tunability is realized using silicon microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) diaphragms with slits that are electrostatically actuated.To compare the effectiveness of a solid diaphragm with the proposed stress-reduced diaphragm with slits, the researchers conducted a direct comparison. The stress-reduced diaphragm showed better performance, confirming the benefits of their proposed design.The bulk of the filter is realized through physical machining of a tall printed circuit board. This article shows the upper frequency limit that is feasible using milling. By focusing on simplicity and the use of widely available materials, the researchers have developed a filter that is both cost-effective and practical.The development of this low-loss tunable evanescent-mode cavity bandpass filter has several implications for the field of RF communication systems. The presence of a TBPF in a circuit can help to suppress unwanted signals and improve the signal-to-noise ratio. The ability to tune the filter to achieve optimal performance in different applications makes it a highly versatile device.In conclusion, the development of this low-loss tunable evanescent-mode cavity bandpass filter is a significant breakthrough in the field of RF communication systems. This filter contributes to the development of more efficient and versatile communication systems. With further advancements in materials and manufacturing techniques, we can expect to see more sophisticated TBPFs in the future.
