The present invention relates to the field of
radio frequency and
microwave technologies, and particularly relates to an integrated tunable filter, which includes a tunable filter body. An input strip line, an output strip line, a
coupling strip line group, and a YIG thin
film structure group are arranged in the tunable filter body. The input strip line can transmit signals to the output strip line through the
coupling strip line group and the YIG thin
film structure group. Among them, multiple green
ceramic sheets are also arranged in the tunable filter body, and the multiple green
ceramic sheets are laminated and sintered into a
coupling cavity of the tunable filter body.
Metal circuit images can be printed on the green
ceramic sheets, and resonant cavities for placing the YIG thin
film structure group can be dug out on the green ceramic sheets. By arranging each functional component on the green ceramic sheets and then using the LTCC process, the filter can be made into an integrated form, and the
assembly is also simpler. There is no need for additional
processing of strip lines, etc. Slots can be directly opened on the green ceramic sheets, and the fixation and
position control of the YIG thin film structure are more precise, without subsequent adjustment.
