Abstract

A tunable notch filter comprising a transmission line, a tunable bandstop filter and a tunable bandpass filter. The transmission line has an input port, an output port and a length electrically connecting the input port to the output port and receiving an RF signal at the input port. The tunable bandstop filter comprises a first direct current voltage source, a first coupling line and a first tunable capacitor. The first direct current voltage source provides a first adjustable voltage to the first tunable capacitor. The first tunable capacitor adjusts its capacitance based on the first adjustable voltage. The tunable bandpass filter comprises a second direct current voltage source, a second coupling line and a second tunable capacitor. The second direct current voltage source provides a second adjustable voltage to second tunable capacitor. The second tunable capacitor adjusts its capacitance based on the second adjustable voltage.
