초록

In this paper, a novel tunable bandpass filter using tunable series inductors and MEMS switches for wireless LAN applications was proposed. The proposed tunable filter was fabricated using a micromachining technology and performances of the fabricated filter were estimated. The filter consists of spiral inductors, MIM capacitors and direct-contact type MEMS switches, and its frequency tunability is achieved by changing the inductance that is induced by ON/OFF actuations of the MEMS switches. The actuation voltage of the MEMS switches was 58 V, and the measured center frequencies were 2.55 GHz and 5.1 GHz, respectively. The passband insertion loss and 3-dB bandwidth were 4.2 dB and 22.5 % at 2.55 GHz, and 5.2 dB and 23.5 % at 5.1 GHz, respectively.
