Abstract
This article presents an improved factor of merit for the comparison of centerβfrequency tunable bandpass filters. This study draws up a comparison between existing tunable filters for which different commonly used parameters demonstrating their performance are given. A first factor of merit that takes all the major characteristics of such tunable filters into account is introduced. A second factor of merit is proposed to evaluate the filter compactness. These new factors of merit are applied for the comparison of more than 30 recently published papers. Β© 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract This study presents a frequency tripler using APDP (antiβparallel diode pair) in which a new structure of bandpass filter (BPF) with low insertion loss and small size is adopted instead of a conventional coupled line BPF. The tripler using the proposed filter is measured and compared wi
