Tunable band notch filters by manipulating couplings of split ring resonators.
The couplings between single/dual split ring resonators (SRRs) and their mirror images in a rectangular waveguide are systematically investigated through theoretical analysis and experimental measurements. Such couplings can be manipulated mechanically by rotating the SRRs along a dielectric rod and/or shifting the SRRs up/down along the sidewall of the rectangular waveguide, resulting in shifts of the resonant frequencies and modulations of the resonant magnitudes. These controllable properties of SRRs pave the routers toward designing tunable band notch filters. In particular, it is experimentally demonstrated that the designed filters possess 7.5% tuning range in the X-band.
