Abstract

Tunable Filters that are based on ferrite materials are often biased by external magnets or coils which are large and bulky. In this work a completely planar, CPW-based bandpass filter is presented with integrated windings. Due to these windings the size of the filter is only 26mm × 34mm × 0.38mm which is orders of magnitude smaller than the traditional designs with external windings. The filter is realized by electroplating of Copper over seed layers of Titanium and Gold over a YIG substrate. The fabricated filter achieves a tunability of 3.4% without any external magnets or coils. A good insertion loss of 2.3 dBs and rejection greater than 50 dBs have been obtained. To the best of the authors knowledge, this design is the first ferrite-based design that is completely planar and self-biased.
