In this paper a novel microwave tunable filtering structure based on a transversal configuration is proposed. A specific MMIC prototype is designed, fabricated and measured at 9-12 GHz range. The main constraints of the monolithic technology in tunable transversal filter design and construction are also discussed. I. INTRODUCTION In the last few years, transversal filters have been considered as a good option for active filter design in many radiofrequency applications. Effectively, the typical problems involved in traditional active filter design techniques, such as high noise or potential unstability, can be totally overcome with transversal configurations.
