    摘要: The present invention incorporates triple-mode, mono-block resonators that are smaller and less costly. The size reduction has two sources. First, the triple-mode mono-block resonator has three resonators in one block. This provides a 3-fold reduction in size compared to filters currently used which disclose one resonator per block. Secondly, the resonators are not air-filled coaxial resonators as in the standard combline construction, but are dielectric-filled blocks. The coupling between modes is accomplished by the corner cuts. One oriented along the Y axis and one oriented along the Z axis. In addition, a third corner cut along the X axis can be used. Corner cuts are used to couple a mode oriented in one direction to a mode oriented in a second mutually orthogonal direction. Each coupling represents one pole in the filter's response. Therefore, the triple-mode mono-block discussed above represents the equivalent of three poles or three electrical resonators.

    摘要: A delay filter uses the dielectric mono-block triple-mode resonator and unique inter-resonator coupling structure, having smaller volume and higher power handling capacity. The triple-mode mono-block resonator has three resonators in one block. An input/output probe is connected to each metal plated dielectric block to transmit microwave signals. Corner cuts couple a mode oriented in one direction to a mode oriented in a second, mutually orthogonal direction. An aperture between two blocks couples all six resonant modes, and generates two inductive couplings by magnetic fields between two modes, and one capacitive coupling by electric fields. The input/output probes, coupling corner cuts and aperture are aligned such that all six resonators are coupled in the desired value and sign, so constant delay on the transmitted signal within certain bandwidth can be achieved. By connecting the input and output probes to the base printed circuit board, the delay filter is surface mountable.

    摘要: The present invention incorporates triple-mode, mono-block resonators that are tunable. Four novel and unobvious methods of tuning are disclosed. The first tuning method is to mechanically grind areas on three orthogonal faces of the mono-block in order to change the resonant frequencies of the three modes in each block. Another method of tuning frequency is to cut a slot within a face of the resonator. A third method of tuning the mono-block is to tune the resonant frequency of a particular mode by removing small circular areas of the conductive surface from a particular face of the mono-block. The fourth, tuning method is the use of discrete tuning elements, with 3 elements distributed among three orthogonal faces of the mono-block, to affect the necessary change of the resonant frequencies.

    摘要: A microwave coupler has a planar form with a transmission line segment oriented at an angle relative to a main transmission line. The planar form of the transmission line, such as in a printed circuit board, helps reduce the size and manufacturing costs for the coupler. When placed a prescribed distance from the main transmission line and oriented at an appropriate angle, the directivity and coupling factor requirements can be met precisely with minimal tuning. Where fine tuning is required, a tuning screw and resistor disposed adjacent to the transmission line segment are provided.

    摘要: To control the temperature sensitivity of a ferroelectric microwave device, a microwave waveguide in the device is loaded with a modified ferroelecc material of reduced grain size less than 100 nm, preferably about 50 nm. The electrical properties of this material are less sensitive to temperature change. Thus, when a dc bias voltage is applied across the ferroelectric to tune the dielectric constant, changes in temperature will have a minimal effect on the desired tuning of the device.
