| Abstract | Reconfigurability is very popular in advanced highly integrated wireless communication circuits and systems, which is valuable for mitigating spectrum congestion and reducing signal interference. To reduce interference and meet the different wireless standards in different countries, frequency reconfigurable filters are promising. Concurrently, due to the conductor and semiconductor properties of VO2 at different temperatures or pressures, the phase transition characteristics of new material VO2 are applied to reconfigurable filters. This paper mainly discusses the application of phase transition characteristics of VO2 materials in filter design and proposes a frequency reconfigurable microstrip bandpass filter based on VO2 materials, in which the microstrip filter adopts the design form of end coupling. Through theoretical calculation, data analysis, and the establishment of the equivalent model of VO2 phase transition, a related design is proposed. An end-coupled microband bandpass filter centered at a reconfigurable frequency (6 GHz to 6.5 GHz) with fractional bandwidth of 2.8% has been designed, which shows consistent match with the expected ones and verify the validity of the proposed method. |
