摘要: A method for tuning a filter component using size adjustment includes measuring a first frequency of a first resonant mode of a dielectric resonator component of an RF filter, said dielectric resonator component being a block of dielectric material having a cuboid shape with three pairs of opposite faces. The first resonant mode has an electric-field component oriented in a direction perpendicular to one of the pairs of opposite faces and parallel to the other two pairs of opposite faces. When a measured value of the first frequency of the first resonant mode is less than a desired value, dielectric material is removed uniformly from at least one face of the two pairs of opposite faces parallel to the electric-field component of the first resonant mode to maintain the cuboid shape of the block of dielectric material. The removal of the dielectric material may be by at least one of lapping, grinding, and milling. The first frequency of the first resonant mode is remeasured to check whether a remeasured value therefor is closer or equal to the desired value without exceeding the desired value. The method is also applicable for tuning multiple modes of dielectric resonator component in the form of a block of dielectric material having a cuboid shape, as well as for tuning multiple modes in dielectric resonator components in the form of blocks of dielectric material having cylindrical and spherical shapes.

摘要: A pair of joined dielectric resonator components of an RF filter includes a first dielectric resonator component and a second dielectric resonator component. The first dielectric resonator component includes a first block of dielectric material, which has a coating of a first conductive material and at least one planar face. The at least one planar face includes a first aperture formed by removing the coating of first conductive material from a portion of the planar face of the first block. The second dielectric resonator component includes a second block of dielectric material, which has a coating of a second conductive material and at least one planar face. The at least one planar face includes a second aperture formed by removing the coating of second conductive material from a portion of the planar face of the second block. The first and second dielectric resonator components are joined to one another with the coating of first conductive material on the planar face of the first block in contact with the coating of second conductive material on the planar face of the second block, and with the first aperture aligned with the second aperture. The second dielectric resonator component has a hole through the coating of second conductive material and into the second block of dielectric material. The hole is outside of the second aperture, and controls electric-field coupling between the first and second dielectric resonator components.
