RF filter comprising N coaxial resonators arranged in a specified interdigitation pattern
Abstract:
Devices and methods related to multiple-pole ceramic resonator filters. In some embodiments, a radio-frequency (RF) filter can include a first coaxial resonator in a first orientation and having an input tab on a first side of the filter, and an N-th coaxial resonator in the first orientation and having an output tab on the first side of the filter. The RF filter can further include second and (N−1)th coaxial resonators, each in a second orientation opposite the first orientation to form first and second interdigitations with the first and N-th resonators, respectively. The RF filter can further include at least two coaxial resonators in the first orientation and coupled between the second and (N−1)th resonators. The N resonators can be slot coupled between the first and N-th resonators. The first and second interdigitations can be configured to provide enhancement of the slot coupling between the first and N-th resonators.
