Abstract

We report on a gold/strontium titanate (Au/SrTiO3) thin-film K-band tunable bandpass filter on a lanthanum aluminate substrate. The two-pole filter has a center frequency of 19 GHz and a 4% bandwidth. Tunability is achieved through the nonlinear temperature dependence and the dc electric field dependence of the relative dielectric constant of SrTiO3. A center frequency shift of 0.85 GHz was obtained at 400-V dc bias and 77 K without degrading the insertion loss of the filter.
