Abstract
By combining four hexagonal ferrite spheres under the same electromagnet structure, a magnetically tuneable bandpass filter can be built in waveguide yielding high off resonance isolation, while keeping insertion loss to a reasonable value. Implementations of this filter in A, Q, U, and V bands have typical off resonance isolation greater than 70 dB and insertion loss less than 13 dB for full-band tuning. The filter can be utilized as a preselector for swept-frequency signal analyzers, for example.
