Abstract:
According to one exemplary embodiment, a selectable notch filter includes a transmission line, a bias circuit, and a switch for selectably coupling the transmission line to ground. In one embodiment, the switch is a PIN diode. The selectable notch filter can selectably suppress a first frequency from being output when the transmission line is coupled to ground. Additionally, the selectable notch filter can selectably suppress a second frequency from being output when the transmission line is not coupled to ground. In one embodiment, the first frequency is approximately equal to a multiple of two of the second frequency. In one embodiment, the selectable notch filter can utilize more than one transmission line.
