Abstract

Abstract In a dielectric filter according to the present invention, a depressed part (28) is formed by removing a portion of an outer peripheral conductor (25c-27c) on the open face side of each of a plurality of one-end face short-circuited type coaxial resonators (25-27) or a portion of the outer peripheral conductor including a dielectric member. A dielectric substrate (29) having a plurality of capacitance forming electrodes (29a-c) for forming antiresonance capacitances between the electrodes and inner peripheral conductors (25d-27d) of the coaxial resonators formed thereon is mounted on the depressed part, and a reactance element (30,31) for coupling the capacitance forming electrodes is provided on the dielectric substrate.
