Abstract
A radio frequency filter (1) comprises an input impedance adaption section (2) and a tank capacitor section (3). Thereby, the capacity of the input impedance adaption section (2) does not comprise a fixed capacitor, it only comprises switchable capacitors. Further, the tank capacitor section (3) does not comprise a fixed capacitor as well it only comprises switchable capacitors. The capacity of the input impedance adaption section (2) can be tuned independent of the tank capacity, section capacity by means of switchable capacitors. Hence, bandwidth and frequency of the radio frequency filter can be modified independent of each other. The imput impendance adaption section (2) is connected in series between the input and output of the filter (1). The tank capacitor section (3) is shunt connected between the input-output series path of the filter (1) and ground. Optionally a gain/attenuation adaption section (4) is in series connected with the imput impedance adaption section (2) in the input-output path of the filter (1).
