Memristor state transition in reconfigurable microwave filter

Memristors are promising candidates to enhance performances in RF/microwave circuits, because memristors do not require any bias, and there are no moving parts involved. In this paper, we propose that memristors could be used as switches for designing a reconfigurable microwave filter. Results obtained using Pi's model for RF/microwave simulations are presented. For the memristor state transition, we use Biolek's model. The model is resistive and it is used for the proof-of-concept transient analysis of idealized microwave circuits.
