A Novel Synthesis for Bandwidth Switchable Bandpass Filters Using Semi-conductor Distributed Doped Areas

Abstract

This paper presents a novel synthesis for bandwidth switchable bandpass filters using Semi-conductor Distributed Doped Areas (ScDDAs) as active elements. A co-design method is proposed with a global and simultaneous conception for the active and the passive parts of the switchable filters. The ScDDAs, integrated in the silicon substrate, are able to commute from half-wavelength open-ended stubs to quarter-wavelength short-circuited ones. This co-design method offers a great flexibility and allows to integrate the active elements directly in the substrate, therefore avoiding any soldering of components. The synthesis is developed for the two-states of the active elements and applied, as a proof of concept, to a four-pole bandwidth switchable bandpass filter. This filter operates at 5 GHz with a 50 % bandwidth in the OFF-state (when the stubs are terminated by an open-circuit) and with a 70 % bandwidth in the ON-state (when the stubs are short-circuited). For this filter, the synthesis is detailed in the two-states allowing to choose the two desired bandwidths. A good fitting is obtained for these results proving the viability of such an approach.
