    Abstract: An in-line resonator filter has a linear array of three or more conductors. A first pair of adjacent conductors has inductive main coupling and oppositely signed capacitive main coupling, while a second pair of non-adjacent conductors has inductive cross-coupling. The first and second pairs have one conductor in common. Between the second pair of non-adjacent conductors, there is no direct ohmic connection that provides the corresponding inductive cross-coupling. The oppositely signed capacitive main coupling compensates for at least a portion of the inductive main coupling between the first pair of adjacent conductors. The in-line resonator filter is able to provide one or more transmission zeros without requiring any discrete bypass connectors that provide direct ohmic connection between pairs of non-adjacent conductors. As such, the in-line resonator filters can be smaller, less complex, and less susceptible to damage.

    Abstract: For wireless cellular communications, a “smart” multi-band combiner system has a multi-band combiner and a passive inter-modulation (PIM) detection sub-system. The multi-band combiner combines multiple transmit signals in different downlink frequency bands into a single, multi-band transmit signal for transmission from a cell tower antenna. The PIM detection sub-system characterizes the frequency components in the multi-band transmit signal to predict PIM products and determine if any predicted PIM products might interfere with any receive signals in any uplink frequency bands. If so, the PIM detection sub-system generates a signal indicating the presence of such predicted interfering PIM products, and the system installer and/or the network administrator can take remedial action to prevent the PIM products from interfering with user communications.

    Abstract: The present invention provides filter assemblies, tuning elements and a method of tuning a filter. A filter assembly includes a housing having a top cover, a bottom cover and at least one sidewall, the top cover, the bottom cover and the at least one sidewall defining an internal cavity, the housing configured to receive first through third radio frequency ("RF") transmission lines; a top metal sheet mounted within the internal cavity that has a plurality of openings that form a first hole pattern; and a bottom metal sheet mounted within the internal cavity that has a plurality of openings that form a second hole pattern. The top and bottom metal sheets are vertically spaced-apart from each other in a vertically stacked relationship within the internal cavity. The top metal sheet and the bottom metal sheet each include at least one resonator.

    Abstract: The invention is a compact three-port signal combiner suitable for use in a base station having two different wireless systems. The combiner is designed as a four-port network, but one of the ports is terminated with a predetermined load, thus leaving three ports for connection to user equipment. A first port (A) receives from an antenna a first input signal comprising first and second receive bands and transmits to the antenna a first output signal comprising a transmit band. A second port (R), connected to the first wireless system, outputs to the first wireless system a second output signal comprising the first and second receive bands. A third port (T\R) outputs, to the second wireless system, a third output signal comprising the first and second receive bands and receives from the second wireless system a second input signal that is to be transmitted from the first port.

    Abstract: Filters include first through fourth resonant cavities, an input that extends into the first resonant cavity, and an output that extends from the fourth resonant cavity. The first resonant cavity is configured to couple with the second and third resonant cavities, the second resonant cavity is configured to couple with the third and fourth resonant cavities, and the third resonant cavity is configured to couple with the fourth resonant cavity. A magnitude of the coupling between the first and third resonant cavities is configured to be substantially equal to a second magnitude of the coupling between the second and fourth resonant cavities. Combiners that include such filters are also provided.
