摘要:
A dielectric waveguide tube band-pass filter assuming lower characteristic change upon mounting, and having smaller dimensions and lower loss. Conductor layers (2a, 2c) are formed on the top and bottom surfaces of a dielectric substrate (1), wherein the top conductor layer 2a and the bottom conductor layer 2c are connected together through via-holes (3a). The via-holes (3a) are formed in at least two rows along the signal transfer direction. In the dielectric waveguide tube configured by the top and bottom conductor layers (2a, 2c) and the via-holes (3a), via-holes (3b) are arranged in the signal transfer direction at spacing equal to or below ½ of the in-tube wavelength to thereby configure resonators. The dielectric band-pass filter is configured by coupling adjacent resonators together through the via-holes (3b) configuring inductive windows. On the surface of the dielectric substrate (1), a co-planar line (4) including the conductor layer (2) as the ground and the conductor layer (2b) as a signal conductor is configured so as to overstride the inductive windows configured by the via-holes (3a).

A conductive layer is formed on each of the upper and lower surfaces of a dielectric substrate, and the two conductive layers are connected by rows of via-holes that are formed which a spacing that is less than or equal to ½ of the wavelength in the dielectric substrate in the resonance frequency, whereby n stages of dielectric resonators and input/output waveguide structures are formed. If the number n of stages is assumed to be 3, the first-stage resonator and the second-stage resonator are coupled by an electromagnetic field by means of via-holes of a first spacing; the second-stage resonator and the third-stage resonator are coupled by an electromagnetic by means of via-holes of a second spacing, whereby a filter is formed. The input/output waveguide structure and the filter are coupled by an electromagnetic by means of via-holes of a fourth spacing. The first-stage resonator and the third-stage resonator are coupled by an electromagnetic field by means of via-holes of a third spacing.

An RF package includes a multilayered dielectric substrate, a feed-through, and metal members. First and second dielectric substrates are formed on the multilayered dielectric substrate. The multilayered dielectric substrate has a cavity where a semiconductor element is to be mounted. The feed-through connects the inside and outside of the cavity and is comprised of a coplanar line formed on the first dielectric substrate and an inner layer line obtained by forming the second dielectric substrate on the coplanar line. The coplanar line and the inner layer line share a strip-like signal conductor. The metal members are formed at a connection interface between the coplanar line and the inner layer line on two sides of the signal conductor.
