ABSTRACT:
A switched bandpass filter includes a plurality of triple tuned bandpass filter sections coupled in parallel between an input and an output terminal and complemented by input and output parallel resonant circuits. Each bandpass filter section includes a switch such as a switching diode by means of which the filter section is either rendered active for passing or inactive for suppressing the frequency band to which it is tuned. Portions of the inactive bandpass filter sections contribute to the resulting frequency response with notches at frequencies outside of the passband of the active filter section. Thus, some components of the inactive bandpass filter sections are reused with the active filter section to gain steep out-of-band rejection slopes. In one embodiment, the switched bandpass filter employs only one switching diode per frequency band and, by reusing two-thirds of the filter components, provides a highly efficient switched bandpass filter arrangement.
