摘要:
A dielectric filter in which both the resonant frequency of each resonator and the degree of coupling between resonators can be adjusted independently. The dielectric filter includes at least first and second dielectric blocks, each having a through bore extending between first and second end faces thereof and a plurality of side surfaces extending between those end faces. Substantially all of the faces of the dielectric blocks, including the bore, are covered with a conductive film to define a first dielectric resonator whose electric energy component varies in the direction of an axis of the through bore. A first coupling electrode is formed, isolated from the conductive film, on at least one and preferably bridging between two of the side surfaces of the first dielectric block for coupling an input signal applied thereto to the first dielectric resonator. A second coupling electrode is formed, isolated from the conductive film, on a second one of the side surfaces of the first dielectric block in a location wherein the electric energy component in the first dielectric block is at a relatively high level so that electric energy in the first dielectric block exits the first dielectric block via the second coupling electrode. The second dielectric block has a first side surface which abuts the second side surface of the first dielectric block. A third coupling electrode is formed on the first side surface of the second dielectric block at a location corresponding to the second coupling electrode such that electric energy leaving the first dielectric block via the second coupling electrode enters the second dielectric block via the third coupling electrode and sets up an electromagnetic field in the second dielectric block whose electric energy component varies in the direction of the through bore of the second dielectric block. A fourth coupling electrode is formed on at least one and preferably bridging between two of the surfaces of the second dielectric block at a location where the resonant electric energy component in the second dielectric block is relatively high such that electric energy in the second dielectric block leaves the dielectric block via the fourth coupling electrode.

A method of adjusting characteristics of a dielectric filter having integral electromagnetic shielding, the dielectric filter comprises a dielectric body having an outer surface including first and second end surfaces and side surfaces extending between the first and second end surfaces; an external conductor disposed on the outer surface of the dielectric body and providing integral electromagnetic shielding of the dielectric filter; at least one hole extending through the dielectric body between the first and second end surfaces; a respective pair of internal conductors provided in the at least one hole and conductively connected to the external conductor at respective ends of the hole, a respective non-conductive portion in the hole being spaced from both ends and thereby separating the pair of internal conductors and defining a respective capacitance between the pair of internal conductors; and signal input and output electrodes provided on the outer surface of the dielectric body and electrically isolated from the external conductor. According to the method, a portion of the dielectric material is removed, for example by grinding, to form the respective non-conductive portion in the hole. The hole may have a changing diameter along its length, due to a hollow formed in one end surface, the non-conductive portion being adjacent to the hollow; or due to a narrowed throttle portion formed at or near the end surface, the non-conductive portion being formed on the throttle portion. Alternatively, the hole may have a substantially constant cross-section, and the non-conductive portion may be substantially flush with the inner surface of the hole. The dielectric body may be regular in shape or may have a side surface with portions spaced from the resonator hole by different respective distances.

Furthermore, a pair of input and output electrodes is formed on the side surfaces so as to be electrically insulated from the outer conductor.

Coupling capacitors are connected between an input end and an output end, a resonator is connected between each of the coupling capacitor and the ground, and a capacitor and a switch are connected between one end of each resonator and the ground. When the capacitor is off, the frequency is set to the resonance frequency of the resonator, and when the switch is turned on, the capacitor is connected parallel to the resonator, so that the resonance frequency is shifted to a lower value, whereby a dielectric filter having multiple frequencies can be obtained.

A dielectric filter in which the resonant frequency of each resonator and the degree of coupling between resonators can be adjusted independently. The dielectric filter includes first and second dielectric blocks, each having a through bore. The dielectric blocks, including the bores, are covered with a conductive film to define respective dielectric resonators whose electric energy component varies in the direction of an axis of the through bore. A first isolated coupling electrode is formed on the first dielectric block for coupling an input signal to the first dielectric resonator. A second isolated coupling electrode is formed on the first dielectric block in a location with a relatively high electric energy component so that electric energy exits the first dielectric block via the second coupling electrode. The second dielectric block has a third isolated coupling electrode at a location corresponding to the second coupling electrode such that electric energy leaving enters the second dielectric block via the third coupling electrode and sets up an electromagnetic field in the second dielectric block whose electric energy component varies in the direction of the through bore of the second dielectric block. A fourth isolated coupling electrode is formed on the second dielectric block at a location with a relatively high resonant electric energy component such that electric energy leaves the dielectric block via the fourth coupling electrode.

A third coupling window is formed on a first side surface of the second dielectric block at a location corresponding to the second coupling window such that magnetic energy leaving the first dielectric block via the second coupling window enters the second dielectric block via the third coupling window and sets up a magnetic field in the second dielectric block whose magnetic energy varies in the direction of the through bore of the second dielectric block. A fourth coupling window is formed on a second surface of the second dielectric block at a location where the resonant magnetic energy in the second dielectric block is relatively high such that magnetic energy leaves the second dielectric block via the fourth coupling window.
