ABSTRACT:
A tunable coupled transmission line band reject filter for use in the microwave frequency range includes a coupled transmission line having first and second line sections. Each line section has an input end and an output end. A transmission line exhibits a natural notch at a particular frequency. A first varactor is coupled between the input ends of the first and second sections. A second varactor is coupled between the output ends of the first and second sections. A D.C. bias voltage across the varactor diodes controls the center frequency of the resulting notch filter.
