Abstract

In this paper, an on-chip reconfigurable filter based on GaAs process is designed. The filter is constructed by cascading low- and high-pass filters and employs the Butterworth prototype as the basic structure of the two filters. The combination of varactor and switching capacitor arrays composed of pHEMT transistors is used to realize a wide capacitance tuning range. Meanwhile, transmission zeros in the form of series resonances are introduced at the lower and upper stopband of the bandpass filter to improve selectivity and out-of-band rejection. One on-chip reconfigurable bandpass filter with continuously reconfigurable center frequency is designed and fabricated using the 0.15um GaAs pHEMT process. In this design, the wide tunable center frequency range covers 2~3.6GHz, the 1dB bandwidth is fixed at 800MHz, and the stopband rejection is greater than 28dB.
