dc.description.abstractThe characterization of a tunable band-pass filter based on stepped-impedance resonator (SIR) is presented in this work. The designed filter uses a half-wavelength resonator patch above a multi-layer substrate, with liquid crystal as its central layer, making it continuously tunable at frequencies around S-band. Two liquid crystal samples are considered for three different approaches: lumped-element circuit simulation, full-wave electromagnetic simulations and prototype measurements. The results demonstrate the possibility of using a simple lumped-element circuit simulation for rapid calculation of the performances of liquid crystal devices at microwave frequencies.
