Abstract
A new type of K-band high-Q frequency-Tunable waveguide filters is proposed in this paper. The presented filter structure adopts a new technique for tuning the resonant frequency of each resonator. A dielectric plate is inserted in each resonator and rotating it leads to the frequency tuning. Unlike the conventional frequency tuning methodologies for tunable waveguide cavity filters, the new frequency tuning technique alleviates the electrical grounding issue for tuning devices. In addition, we demonstrate a new design method that allows the filter to have an absolute constant bandwidth in the frequency tuning range without using tunable coupling structures.
