signals and sideband noise of co-located transmitters on closely spaced receivers thus, protecting the_x000D_
communications from interference, false information, or noise. Commercially available devices are_x000D_
mechanically tuned. This project introduces a new electrical-based auto-tuned coaxial filter, which enables an_x000D_
efficient and automatic filtering functionality. The aim is to take advantage of deployed photoconductive_x000D_
polymers that change their properties within the cavity filter in the presence of light; hence, switching their_x000D_
status from dielectrics to good conductors. The designed high-Q prototype should meet desired specifications_x000D_
such as a temperature variation handling from -10 to +60 oC and an insertion loss less than 3 dB., program purpose french : Coaxial cavity filters, for RF front-ends operating in the 108-138 MHz band, selectively suppress interfering_x000D_
