Abstract:
The present disclosure presents a dual-channel filter based on a dielectric resonator, which includes a metal cavity, a dielectric resonator, two tuning metal probes, and four feeding metal probes. The dielectric resonator is disposed at the center of the metal cavity. The four feeding metal probes are disposed around the metal cavity, and coupled to the dielectric resonator. The two tuning metal probes are connected to the metal cavity, and respectively located at a central position directly above and below the dielectric resonator. The dual-channel filter integrates two channel filters with good isolation between them, and has two input ports and two output ports.
Abstract:
The invention presents a LTCC balun filter using two out-of-phase filtering circuits. The LTCC balun filter is comprised of three half-wavelength resonators and grounds which are located on fourteen metal layers. Vias are utilized to connect different metal parts. The first, fourth, seventh, eleventh and fourteenth metal layers are the ground. The three half-wavelength resonators are on the second, third, fifth, sixth, eighth, ninth, tenth, twelfth and thirteenth metal layers. By adjusting the coupling parts of the three half-wavelength resonators, namely the lengths of the seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh layers, as well as the distances between them, the coupling strength between the half-wavelength resonators can be tuned. In addition, the quality factor of the circuit can be improved by tuning the port positions. By using the multi-layer LTCC technology, the present invention has the advantage of compact size, novelty, creativity and practicability.
