Abstract
The invention provides a dielectric filter device comprising a first electrode formed on a dielectric block for connection to an antenna, and a second electrode formed on an upper surface of the block for connection to a communications device, openings of hollow bores being arranged between the first and second electrodes to provide a filter for passing a predetermined frequency band, a plurality of hollow bores being arranged between the second electrode and a side surface of the block to provide traps having a plurality of attenuation poles. Attenuation of frequencies in the pass band can be diminished without providing an external circuit.
Claims4
A dielectric filter device comprising a dielectric block generally in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped and having a plurality of hollow bores formed therein and openings of the bores in an upper surface of the block, electrically conductive layers respectively covering a lower surface opposed to the upper surface, an outer peripheral side surface parallel to axes of the bores, inner peripheral surfaces defining the respective bores and the upper surface around the bore openings, and a plurality of electrodes separate from the conductive layers for connection to external devices, the filter device being characterized in that first bore opening portions are arranged between the first electrode formed on the upper surface or side surface of the block and the second electrode formed on the upper surface thereof to provide a filter for passing a predetermined frequency band, second bore opening portions being arranged between the second electrode and the side surface of the block.
A dielectric filter device comprising a dielectric block generally in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped and having a plurality of hollow bores formed therein and openings of the bores in an upper surface of the block:, electrically conductive layers respectively covering a lower surface opposed to the upper surface, an outer peripheral side surface parallel to axes of the bores, inner peripheral surfaces defining the respective bores and the upper surface around the bore openings, and a plurality of electrodes separate from the conductive layers for connection to external devices, the filter device being characterized in that first bore opening portions are arranged between the first electrode formed on the upper surface or side surface of the block and the second electrode formed on the upper surface thereof to provide a first filter for passing a predetermined first frequency band, second bore opening portions being arranged between the first electrode and the third electrode formed on the upper surface to provide a second filter for passing a predetermined second frequency band, third bore opening portions being arranged on the upper surface of the block between the second electrode and the outer peripheral side surface of the block, and/or fourth bore opening portions being arranged between the third electrode and the side surface of the block.
