Abstract:
The present invention relates to a filtering circuit comprising at least two slot line resonators (R1, R2) arranged side by side and realised on a dielectric substrate having a first face equipped with a conductive layer and a second parallel face, each of said at least two resonators comprising a slot line (3) etched in the conductive layer and folded according to a spiral pattern counting a plurality of turns, with a shape factor such that the slot line has parts noticeably parallel or concentric. According to embodiments of the invention, at least one turn of the spiral pattern of each of the resonators comprises at least one discontinuity (10), the discontinuities of said at least two slot line resonators being arranged in such a manner as to increase the electromagnetic coupling between said at least two slot line resonators.
Abstract:
A dual-band bandpass filter according to the present invention includes a plurality of dual-band bandpass resonators. The dual-band bandpass resonator includes a central conductor (11) having a central axis aligned with an input/output direction, a pair of grounding conductors (12), a central conductor short-circuit part (13) and a pair of stub conductors (14) that are formed on a surface of a dielectric substrate. The pair of grounding conductors are disposed on the opposite sides of the central conductor with a space interposed therebetween. The central conductor short-circuit part (13) short-circuits the pair of grounding conductors, and one end of the central conductor is connected to the central conductor short-circuit part.
Abstract:
The invention relates to RF bandpass filters with pseudo-elliptic response. In a filter comprising a dielectric substrate 302 placed in E position in a rectangular waveguide 301 and comprising inserts 303-306 on one of the surfaces of the substrate are placed conductors linked electrically to the walls of the guide, and on the other surface of the substrate opposite these conducting inserts are placed electrically floating inserts that make it possible to determine zeros in the transmission curve of the filter. This yields a filter exhibiting a response curve of pseudo-elliptic type which improves the rejection of spurious frequencies without increasing the dimensions of the filter.

A coplanar resonator which is comprised of a dielectric substrate, a center conductor formed in the surface thereof, and a ground conductor formed so as to surround the same center conductor, wherein the same center conductor is comprised of a main line conductor 31, formed by extension in a rectilinear shape, and auxiliary line conductors 32a and 32b bifurcating from at least one end of the same main line conductor, folding back and being extended on both sides of the main line conductor.
Abstract:
A filter is provided which maintains a low insertion loss characteristic of a filter contained in a casing with a very simple construction that the internal wall of the casing is formed by a superconductor. A coplanar waveguide filter 22 comprises a dielectric substrate 1, a plurality of resonators 5a, 5b, 5c and 5d and input/output terminal sections 4a and 4b, each of which is formed by a center conductor 2 and ground conductors 3 a and 3b, both formed on the same surface of the dielectric substrate 1, with the ground conductors 3 a to 3d being formed on the opposite sides of and in parallel relationship with the center conductor 2. The filter 22 is contained within a casing 21 having an internal wall, the surface of which is formed with a layer of superconductor 23. By way of example, a high temperature superconductor such as lanthanum-, yttrium-, bismuth- or thallium-superconductor is deposited as a film on a substrate of a metal oxide material such as MgO, SrTiO 3 , LaGaO 3 , LaAlO 3 to provide a superconductor filmed substrate 25, which is applied to the internal surface of the casing 21. Electromagnetic power which is irradiated from the filter 22 does not produce a power loss when it impinges on the layer of superconductor 23 in its superconducting state, but is reflected therefrom to be absorbed by the filter 22, thus reducing the filter insertion loss.
