6.3 GHz to 18 GHz, Tunable Band-Pass Filter

The ADMV8416 is a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC), tunable band-pass filter that features a user selectable pass-band frequency. The 3 dB filter bandwidth is approximately 15% of the center frequency (fCENTER), and the 20 dB filter bandwidth is 37%. Additionally, fCENTER can be varied between 6.8 GHz to 16.8 GHz by applying an analog fCENTER tuning voltage between 0 V to 15 V. The usable pass band corner frequencies (fCORNER) span from 6.3 GHz to 18 GHz. This tunable filter can be used as a much smaller alternative to large switched filter banks and cavity tuned filters. The filter has excellent microphonics due to the monolithic design and provides a dynamically adjustable solution.
