Tunable Substrate Integrated Waveguide Filters Implemented with PIN Diodes and RF MEMS Switches

This thesis presents the first fully tunable substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) filter implemented with PIN diodes and RF MEMS switches. The methodology for tuning SIW filters is explained in detail and is used to create three separate designs. Each SIW cavity is tuned by perturbing via posts conn...
