Abstract:
This invention provides a reflection-type bandpass filter for ultra-wideband wireless data communication (1), in which are provided, on the surface of a dielectric substrate (2), a center conductor (3) and side conductors (5a, 5b), provided on both sides of the center conductor, securing a prescribed distance between conductors with non-conducting portions (4a, 4b) intervening therebetween. The center conductor width or the distances between conductors, or both, are distributed non-uniformly in a length direction of the center conductor.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a FINLINE type microwave band-pass filter comprising a waveguide 203 provided with an insulating substrate 204 placed in an E plane of the guide and comprising on at least one of the surfaces, conductive inserts 205 electrically connected to the internal surfaces of the guide which support the substrate and which determine by their dimensions and their positioning on the substrate a Chebyshev type filter response curve. The filter includes at least one cavity 207 in perpendicular short circuit to the substrate, the positioning and the dimensions of the cavity determining a transmission zero on the filter response curve for attenuating the frequencies situated around this zero. Such a filter is used in particular in transmission terminals operating in the Ka band.
Abstract:
In a distributed constant filter, two open-circuited line resonators (8,9) of lambda /2 are capacitively coupled with each other by an electromagnetic field coupling section (13), while the input (2) and output (3) terminals are mutual-inductively coupled with each other by an electromagnetic field coupling section (10). The frequency of the attenuation pole can be set close to the center frequency, and the steepness of the filter response can be enhanced.
Abstract:
A filter is provided which comprises a single dielectric, and a line conductor and a ground conductor disposed on the dielectric. The line conductor includes first and second line conductor sections having opposed portions defining an open gap therebetween to form a capacitive coupling section. The edge lines of the opposed portions of the first and second conductor sections defining the open gap therebetween are substantially elongated relative to the line width of the corresponding conductor sections. The thus constructed filter is capable of suppressing a variation in the normalized J-inverter value even if dimensional errors relative to the design specifications due to overetching or underetching involved during the manufacture.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device comprising a capacitor (200) for altering the impedance of a section of a coplanar waveguide, whereby the capacitance of the capacitor (200) can be altered. The capacitor (200) comprises, at least in part, a first electrically conductive connection (130), a second electrically conductive connection (131), and a third electrically conductive connection (121). The signal line (120) of the section of the waveguide is interrupted along a predetermined length (122). The first connection (130) connects the grounding lines (110, 111) of the waveguide, the second connection (131) also connects the grounding lines (110, 111) of the waveguide, and the third connection (121) connects both portions of the interrupted signal line (120).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a high-pass filter realized in a conductive casing by means of mechanical structural elements, which filter is suitable for signal processing especially at microwave frequencies. In the casing (201, 202, 203) there are in series rigid conductive elements (2IN, 210, 220, 230, 2OUT) separated from each other. Between successive elements there is capacitance that can be adjusted within certain limits, if necessary. The insulating material between the elements is air or plastic, for example. At least some of the conductive elements involve a conductor (214, 224) less than half a wavelength long, short-circuited at the opposite end to the casing. This together with the casing connected to the signal ground provides a transmission line which, looking from the conductive element, is inductive at the operating frequencies. A signal path is thus provided in the filter with capacitance in the longitudinal direction and inductance in the transversal direction between each two capacitive elements. The structure is simple and sturdy, which means relatively good power handling capacity and reliability. In addition, the structure has few boundaries that may cause harmful intermodulation.
