Abstract
Abstract A dual mode microstrip resonator (1) usable in the design of microwave communication filters. The substantially square resonator (1) provides paths for a pair of orthogonal signals which are coupled together using a perturbation located in at least one corner of the resonator (1). The perturbation can be introduced by notching (3) the resonator (1) or by adding a metallic or dielectric a stub (83) to the resonator (1).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
97 words
A dual mode planar filter comprising: substantially square resonating means having a pair of orthogonal resonating paths for conducting two modes of electromagnetic signals and having a perturbation means located in at least one corner of the resonating means for coupling the electromagnetic signals between the two modes; at least one signal input electromagnetically coupled to the resonating means for delivering electromagnetic signals to the resonating means such that the signals propagate along the resonating paths; and at least one signal output electrically coupled to the resonating means for delivering coupled electromatic signals from the resonating means.
