G. Subramanyam et al., A K-BAND TUNABLE MICROSTRIP BANDPASS FILTER USING A THIN-FILM CONDUCTOR FERROELECTRIC/DIELECTRIC MULTILAYER CONFIGURATION/, IEEE microwave and guided wave letters, 8(2), 1998, pp. 78-80
We report on a gold/strontium titanate (Au/SrTiO3) thin-film K-band tu
nable bandpass filter on a lanthanum aluminate substrate. The two-pole
filter has a center frequency of 19 GHz and a 4% bandwidth, Tunabilit
y is achieved through the nonlinear temperature dependence and the de
electric field dependence of the relative dielectric constant of SrTiO
3. A center frequency shift of 0.85 GHz was obtained at 400-V dc bias
and 77 K without degrading the insertion loss of the filter.
