This paper presents an optically reconfigurable
microstrip ultra-wideband filter. A single optical switch
comprised of a silicon wafer is activated using near infra-red
light to select between either a bandpass or bandstop response.
With the switch in the ON state, the circuit behaves as a
bandpass filter while in the OFF state, the circuit behaves as a
bandstop filter in the same frequency band. The proposed filter
was designed, fabricated and tested. Its performance was
evaluated through simulation and measurements.
