Abstract
A helical resonator filter includes several helical coils, each grounded at one end and free at the other and enclosed within a cavity. The coils are coupled to each other electromagnetically through apertures in the conductive walls separating the resonator cavities from each other. A dielectric member is inserted into the apertures to increase coupling between adjacent coils to increase the bandwidth of the filter.
Claims3
A helical resonator filter comprising:
- a plurality of conductive helical coils;
- a conductive shell having a plurality of cavities, each cavity including one of said helical coils and separated by conductive walls, the wall between adjacent cavities having an aperture for providing electromagnetic coupling between adjacent helical coils;
- and
- a dielectric member inserted in each of the apertures to increase the electromagnetic coupling between adjacent helical coils.
