Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a miniaturized YIG band-pass filter with first poles for achieving high selectivity in the microwave range, in which the coupling structure consists of, for example, crossed coaxial inner conductors in an external magnet circuit which are semicircularly bent over the YIG elements, the coupling structure for the YIG resonators being arranged in a filter body which is made of, for example, copper or brass, such that the coaxial supply conductors for coupling the YIG resonators are adjacently arranged and are magnetically coupled, i.e., in the case of filters comprising an even number of YIG resonators they are coupled to each other, and in the case of filters comprising an odd number of YIG resonators the first and the last supply conductor are coupled. The magnetic coupling between the supply conductors can be varied by means of a displaceable shutter.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
148 words
A miniaturized YIG band-pass filter having defined damping poles comprising: an even number of ferrimagnetic YIG resonators, a filter body of electroconductive non-magnetizable material, a corresponding number of chambers formed in said body for receiving said YIG resonators, respectively, the first and the last chamber being arranged adjacent each other and interconnected by a coupling aperture, two parallel passages leading from said first and last chambers respectively, to an external surface of said body, an input and output coupling structure including coaxial supply conductors passing through said passages and being magnetically coupled to one side of said YIG elements, a crossed inner conductor passing through said coupling aperture and being magnetically coupled to another side of said YIG elements, and an open space formed in said body between predetermined portions of said supply conductor to produce an additional coupling therebetween thereby forming damping poles in the filter curve.
