Abstract: The invention is a method and apparatus for dissipating heat in a dielectric resonator circuit in which resonators are mounted to an enclosure by highly thermally and electrically conductive supports, such as metal rods, that pass through the longitudinal through hole in the center of the resonator. The supports preferably are attached within the through holes by a highly thermally conductive, but dielectric sleeve positioned between the support and the resonator. The rod or support has a diameter selected to minimize any reduction in quality factor, Q, for the circuit. Alternately, the support can be a highly thermally conductive dielectric and the inner wall of the through hole can be metalized.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a dual polarization planar antenna. The antenna comprises a first layer comprising a first patch (134; 539) and a second layer beneath the first layer comprising a first feed line (105a; 505a) for coupling a first signal to the first patch (134; 539) and a second feed line (105b; 505b) for coupling a second signal to the first patch (134; 539) such that the first patch (134; 539) radiates a field that has two different polarizations. The antenna also includes a third layer comprising first and second coupling discs (122a, 122b; 522a, 522b) electrically connected to the first feed line (105a; 505a) and third and fourth coupling discs electrically connected to the second feed line (105b; 505b). The first and second discs (122a, 122b; 522a, 522b) are electrically coupled to each other by a first half wavelength conductor (112, 523) and the third and fourth discs (122c, 122d; 522c, 522d) are electrically coupled the each other by a second half wavelength conductor (116, 525), the first and second half wavelength conductors not being disposed in the second layer.

Abstract: The invention is a dielectric resonator in the shape of a truncated cone and variations with a longitudinal through hole. The truncated cone shape physically displaces the H 11 mode from the TE mode in the longitudinal direction of the cone. Particularly, the TE mode tends to concentrate in the base of the cone while the H 11 mode tends to concentrate at the top of the cone. By truncating the cone so as to eliminate the portion of the cone where the H 11 mode field exists, yet keep the portion of the cone where the TE mode exists, the H 11 mode can be virtually eliminated while having no effect on the magnitude of the TE mode. Resonators in accordance with the invention may be used to build low-loss compact and/or variable bandwidth filters, oscillators, and other circuits, particularly microwave circuits. The conical resonators are arranged relatively to each other within an enclosure in a very efficient and compact design that enhances coupling and the adjustability between adjacent resonators. A plurality of conical dielectric resonators may be arranged in the enclosure such that the longitudinal orientation of each resonator is inverted relative to its adjacent resonator(s). Alternately, the conical resonators may be arranged in a radial pattern relative to each other. The invention also comprises a spiral coupling loop that provides greater magnetic flux in the same physical volume. Further, conical resonators can be positioned relative to microstrips on printed circuit boards and other substrates so as to provide enhanced electromagnetic coupling between the resonator and the microstrip. Particularly, because the TE mode tends to be concentrated in the base portion of the resonator, the resonator can be mounted upside down to the substrate in the vicinity of the microstrip. In this manner, the TE mode field concentration is positioned above and more closely to the microstrip than with cylindrical resonators. Accordingly, the TE mode field can be positioned much closer to the microstrip than previously possible.

Abstract translation: 本发明是一种截头圆锥形状的介质谐振器，并具有纵向通孔。 截锥体在锥体的纵向方向上从TE模式物理上移位H11模式。 特别地，TE模式倾向于集中在锥体的底部，而H11模式倾向于集中在锥体的顶部。 通过截断锥体以消除存在H11模式场的锥体部分，但保持锥体部分存在TE模式，则可以实际上消除H11模式，同时不影响TE的幅度 模式。 根据本发明的谐振器可用于构建低损耗紧凑和/或可变带宽滤波器，振荡器和其它电路，特别是微波电路。 锥形谐振器以非常有效和紧凑的设计在外壳内彼此相对布置，从而增强了相邻谐振器之间的耦合和可调节性。 多个锥形介质谐振器可以布置在外壳中，使得每个谐振器的纵向取向相对于其相邻的谐振器反转。 或者，锥形谐振器可以相对于彼此以径向图案布置。 本发明还包括螺旋耦合回路，其在相同的物理体积中提供更大的磁通量。 此外，锥形谐振器可以相对于印刷电路板和其它基板上的微带定位，以便在谐振器和微带之间提供增强的电磁耦合。 特别地，由于TE模式倾向于集中在谐振器的基部，所以可以在微带附近将谐振器上下颠倒地安装在基板上。 以这种方式，与使用圆柱形谐振器相比，TE模式场浓度位于微带上方且更接近微带。 因此，TE模式字段可以比先前可能更靠近微带放置。
