A high linearity reconfigurable bandpass filter embedded with a tunable notch structure has been presented for future wideband wireless communication applications. A single varactor diode (BB135‐NXP) is used for the purpose of tuning the notch. The linearity of the varactor‐tuned bandpass filter is also evaluated. The proposed filter is able to achieve a good linearity with IIP3 of 37, 46, and 45 dB at 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5 GHz, respectively, and with no significant loss. Simulations have been verified by the measurements of a fabricated prototype. A good agreement has been achieved simulated and measured results. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
