Tunable MEMS hybrid coupler and L-band tunable filter

Simultaneous control of frequency and coupling coefficient of a directional coupler provides a wide band tunable hybrid coupler. This hybrid coupler is combined with identical two tunable band rejection filters (BRF), to achieve a small-size wide-band tunable band pass filter (BPF). The BPF is called a reflection-type BPF and has a feature of converting rejection frequency bands of the BRF to pass frequency bands.
