The development of electromagnetic two-dimensionally reconfigurable filter is reviewed. The background, significance, development status and regulation principle of electromagnetic two-dimensionally reconfigurable filter are introduced. The electromagnetic two-dimensionally reconfigurable filter is divided into two types: magnetoelectric composite structure and magnetoelectric adjustable hybrid structure. The performance analysis of these two structures is carried out respectively. The performance parameters of the electromagnetic two-dimensionally reconfigurable filter with different magnetoelectric composite structures and different materials are compared. Finally the existing problems and future development trends are discussed.
