Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A dielectric waveguide filter which, in one embodiment, is comprised of a plurality of monoblocks coupled together in a side-by-side relationship. In one embodiment, the waveguide filter includes two end monoblocks and two interior monoblocks each defining two resonators. First and second RF signal input/output electrodes are defined on the two end monoblocks. In one embodiment, a direct RF signal transmission path is defined in part by the combination of the resonators, RF signal transmission bridges on each of the monoblocks that interconnect the resonators on each of the monoblocks, and RF signal transmission windows between and interconnecting the resonators of adjacent monoblocks. In one embodiment, alternate or cross-coupling RF signal transmission paths are defined by external RF signal transmission lines that extend between adjacent monoblocks.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A waveguide filter for a transmission of an RF signal and comprising: a pair of solid and separate end blocks of dielectric material each defining at least a pair of resonators, an RF signal transmission input/output transmission electrode, an exterior surface covered with a layer of conductive material, an RF signal transmission window defined by a region of the exterior surface devoid of conductive material and defining a path for the transmission of the RF signal,…
