Abstract

A variable bandwidth filter that includes either a parallel or series combination of a fixed impedance, such as a capacitor, and a variable impedance, such as a variable capacitor. The series and parallel combinations enable the ideal capacitance values for the filter coupling to be approximated thereby enabling a single control voltage to control the filter bandwidth without effecting the filter's upper frequency.
