Stagger-Tuned RF Filtering

Faculty: Bruce Wooley

Student: Robert Wiser

Research Summary

A flat filter passband can potentially be obtained at GHz frequencies by combining Q-enhancement and staggered tuning on multiple isolated resonators. Precise control of each resonator's center frequency and Q is required in order to shape the overall filter response to specification. Automatic tuning will be utilized to demonstrate the feasibility of an RF stagger-tuned filter and the subsequent easing of tolerances on down-stream circuitry.
