Abstract
Balun with tunable bandpass filter characteristic includes first, second and third coupling elements disposed on a substrate. The first and second coupling elements are arranged on the substrate relative to the third coupling element to couple two identical but out of phase signals to form a corresponding unbalanced signal in the third coupling element. A plurality of tunable resonator elements are distributed within an area of the substrate defined on one side by the first and second coupling elements and on an opposing side by the third coupling element. The tunable resonator elements are configured to selectively produce a bandpass filter response.
