Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to an electrical filter, and more particularly, to a dielectric filter which functions as a band elimination filter, and is especially so arranged to be compact in an external size and capable of achieving a low cost through simplification of the manufacturing process.
- JP-A-62 77 703 there is disclosed a dielectric filter operating as a band-pass filter built in a dielectric block. Adjacent resonators are coupled electromagnetically through coupling holes, and only two not adjacent resonators are connected by a reactance element, and thereby improving the filter characteristic of the band-pass filter.
- JP-A-61 193 501 there is disclosed a band elimination filter not built in one block and wherein a static capacitance is formed between capacitor electrodes. One of these electrodes is grounded, so that the static capacitance is provided in parallel relation to the resonators.
- a further band-pass filter built in a single block is disclosed for example in JP-A-61 218 201.
- the band-pass filter is provided with electrode layers forming capacitor members.
- the dielectric filter 30 comprises a plurality of resonators 35 disposed side by side and each including a cylindrical member 31 of a ceramic material formed with a through-bore 32 extending therethrough along its axis, an inner-conductor layer 33 formed within the through-bore 32 and an outer conductor layer 34 formed over an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical member 31 except for its end face 31a at an open end side thereof, a capacitor 36 constituted by forming electrode films on opposite main faces of a ceramic disc, and electrically connected to the end face 31a side at the open end of the through-bore 32 of each resonator 35, and a coaxial cable 37 having an electrical length of ⁇ /4 wavelength, provided to connect the neighboring resonators 35 to each other thorugh said capacitors 36.
- the conventional dielectric filter 30 as described above adopts a construction is which the resonators 35 are connected to each other by the coaxial cable 37 having the length at ⁇ /4 wavelength, i.e. through couping by a so-called distribution constant line, there is such a problem that the external size of the dielectric filter 30 inevitably increases by the length of said coaxial cable 37.
- the single unit of the resonator 35 is prepared in a plurality of pieces so as to be connected by the ⁇ /4 transmission line, troublesome procedures are required by that extent, with a consequent rise in the manufacturing cost.
- an essential object of the present invention is to provide an improved dielectric filter which is capable of decreasing an external size thereof, with a simultaneous reduction of cost through simplification in the manufacturing process.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a dielectric filter of the above described type which is simple in construction and stable in functioning at high reliability.
- the capacitor coupling can be realized, for example, by inserting a metallic pin in an axial direction of a resinous pin forced into each of said through-bores.
- the length for connection between said resonators may be shortened to a large extent, while the respective resonators conventionally disposed as single units through intervals equivalent to ⁇ /4 wavelength therebetween, may be formed by one block member for reduction of the external size by that extent.
- the troublesome work conventionally required to be effected by maintaining a required length of the line for connecting the resonators at high accuracy can be simplified, and moreover, since it is not necessary to prepare a plurality of individual resonators, labor and the number of parts during manufacture can be reduced to a large extent, thereby to decrease the cost by that extent for improvement of productivity.
- the ⁇ /4 wavelength transmission line may be replaced by the concentrated constant of a coil L and capacitors C under the conditions as follows at a certain frequency f (Figs. 6(a), 6(b)).
- Za Characteristic impedance of the line
- ⁇ Electrical angle of the line
- ⁇ 2 ⁇ f.
- the above transmission line may be converted as shown in Figs. 6(c) to 6(d).
- a dielectric filter 1A which functions as a band elimination filter according to one preferred embodiment of the present invention, which generally includes a dielectric block 2 of a ceramic material in cubic rectangular box-like configuration and formed therein with, for example, five through-bores 3 through a predetermined interval therebetween and in a parallel relation to each other, an inner conductor layer 4 formed on the inner peripheral face of each of said through-bores 3, an outer conductor layer 5 formed on four side walls 2b of said dielectric block 2 except for an end face 2a at an open end side (i.e. upper face 2a in Fig.
- a short-circuiting conductive layer 6 formed on a bottom face 2c of said dielectric block 2 for short-circuiting between the outer conductor layer 5 and the inner conductor layers 4 for generating a resonance mode of ⁇ /4 wavelength, thereby to constitute five resonators 7, a resinous pin 8 forced into each of said through-bores 3 at the end face 2a on the open end side of the block 2, a metallic pin 9 inserted into the center of each resinous pin 8 in its axial direction as a coupling member for capacitive coupling with the inner conductor layer 4, with the upper end of said metallic pin 9 projecting upwardly from the open end face 2a to a certain extent, and air-core coils 10 as a concentrated constant line for connecting neighboring ones of said metallic pins 9 as illustrated (in Fig. 1, IP indicates a circuit symbol showing an input terminal and OP represents a circuit symbol showing an output terminal).
- the dielectric filter 1A of the present embodiment functions as a band elimination filter for attenuating only the signal in the particular frequency region, it may be employed, for example, for an antenna duplexer, filter diplexer, etc., in which more than two filters 1A are combined.
- the conventional construction in which a plurality of single resonators are arranged side by side may be accommodated in one block, and thus, the connecting length between the resonators 7 may be remarkably reduced as compared with that in the conventional transmission line, thereby reducing the size of the filter by that extent.
- a reactance element Z is connected between a junction of the metallic pin 9 and the air-core coil 10 and the outer conductor layer 5 for fine adjustment of the filter characteristics.
- reactance element Z may be added to all of the connecting portions or to the connecting portions arbitrarily selected, and the reactive element of a capacitive nature or inductive nature may be provided singly or in combination.
- the arrangement may be, for example, so modified as in a modification 1C in Figs. 4(a) and 4(b) in which the air-core coils 10 are replaced by a coil line pattern plate CL, which includes an insulative substrate 15, and a coil line pattern 16 formed thereon.
- the substrate 15 with the coil line pattern 16 is applied onto the metallic pins 9 through corresponding holes formed in the substrate 15, and the pins 9 and the coil line pattern 16 are connected by soldering for fixing. in this case also, effects similar to those in the foregoing embodiment may be obtained.
- the metallic pin 9 described as employed in the foregoing embodiment for the capacitor coupling member may be replaced by a capacitor member 13 constituted by forming electrode layers 12 on opposite main faces of a cylindrical ceramic member 11 as shown in a further modification 1D in Fig. 5.
- a cylindrical metallic capacitor base 14 is inserted into the through-bore 3 instead of the resinous pin 8, and the lower face of said capacitor member 13 is connected to the upper face of said capacitor base 14, while the air-core coil 10 is connected to the electrode layer 12 on the upper face of said capacitor member 13.
- the present invention is also applicable to a ⁇ /2 wavelength resonator as well.
- the resonators are constituted by forming a plurality of through-bores in the dielectric block, and forming the inner conductor layers and the outer conductor layer within the through-bores and the outer side walls of the block respectively, while the neighboring resonators are connected to each other through the capacitor coupling members by the concentrated constant line, and therefore, not only the connecting length between the resonators can be reduced, but also a plurality of resonators are integrally formed in one block-member, with a consequent reduction of the filter size by that extent. Additionally, troublesome work while maintaining the predetermined electrical length may be dispensed with for saving labor during manufacture to a large extent, and also for decreasing of the number of parts involved, with a corresponding reduction in cost.
