Abstract
A controllable filter arrangement with a voltage controlled device that subjects a signal to a predetermined impedance as part of the filtering process when the voltage controlled device is in an active state. In an inactive state, the voltage controlled device may subject the signal to an impedance that prevents all frequencies of the signal from passing. This configuration may advantageously increase frequency selectivity and reduce insertion loss, size, cost, and tuning complexity when compared with conventional filter designs.
