Popis: The multichannel tunable filter properties of one-dimensional ternary plasma photonic crystal composed of magnetized plasma and lossless dielectric have been theoretically investigated using transfer matrix method in the microwave region. The proposed filters possess 2N − 2 comb-like sharp resonant peaks also called transmission channels for N > 1 in transmission spectra in the absence and presence of an external magnetic field. Due to the coupling between evanescent waves and propagating modes in plasma and dielectric layers, respectively, 2N − 2 transmission channels are found without the addition of any defect, enabling the structure to work as a multichannel filter. Next, the filter properties can be made tunable by the application of an external magnetic field, i.e., channel frequency can either be red or blue shifted depending upon the orientation of an external magnetic field. The number of channels and their positions can also be modulated by changing the number of periods (N) and the incident ang...
