Abstract:
The present invention concerns an aperture antenna (20) that comprises: a receiving element (21), which includes an aperture (21a) and is configured to receive, through said aperture (21a), radio signals having frequencies comprised within a given band of radio frequencies (B 1 ); a waveguide (22) configured to receive radio signals from the receiving element (21); and a frequency selective structure, which is arranged between the receiving element (21) and the waveguide (22), and comprises metamaterial structures that extend partially inside the receiving element (21) and/or partially inside the waveguide (22) and that are configured to cause the propagation, from the receiving element (21) to the waveguide (22), of only the received radio signals that have frequencies comprised within a predetermined sub-band (B 2 ) of the given band of radio frequencies (B 1 ). Furthermore, the frequency selective structure is configured to reflect back into the receiving element (21) the received radio signals that have frequencies not comprised in the predetermined sub-band (B 2 ).

A variable filter element and a variable filter module suitable for decreasing the drive voltage are provided. The variable filter element includes a substrate, two ground lines and a signal line between the ground lines, where these lines are disposed to extend in parallel on the substrate. The filter element further includes movable capacitor electrodes which bridge between the ground lines and have portions facing the signal line, drive electrodes which are located between the signal line and the ground lines and generate electrostatic attraction with the movable capacitor electrodes, and a ground line, which is disposed in the substrate, has a portion facing the signal line, and is electrically connected with the ground. The variable capacitor electrodes and the ground line constitute ground interconnection portions, and the signal line and ground interconnection portion constitute a distributed constant transmission line.

A coupling structure for coupling to a circuit portion (6) in a coplanar-waveguide circuit (1) having ground conductors (2,3) at both sides is disclosed. A signal input/output line (4) is provided at the center of the coplanar-waveguide circuit; and an inductive coupling portion (5) having an end of the signal input/output line shortcircuited to one of the ground conductors and facing a part of the circuit portion via a first gap is also provided.
Abstract:
A discrete resonator is provided, including a dielectric base having a dielectric constant. A metal contact formed on a major surface of the dielectric base has a predetermined area and is positioned at a predetermined location on the dielectric base to provide a predetermined loaded Q for the resonator. A metal ground coating is formed on the outer surface of the dielectric base with the exception of an isolation region surrounding the metal contact that is free of the metal ground coating. The area of the isolation region is sufficient to prevent significant coupling between the metal contact and the metal ground coating. The dielectric constant of the material used for the base, and the width and length of the dielectric base are each selected such that the resonator resonates at least at one predetermined resonant frequency in the GHz frequency range.
