Abstract
Abstract A helical resonator filter is disclosed which comprises helical coils wound on hollow bobbins respectively, and magnetic cores adjustably inserted in the hollow bobbins respectively, the helical coils being electromagnetically coupled to each other via the magnetic cores. The hollow bobbins are accommodated in a metal casing which is provided with no inside partition wall formed with a window adapted for enabling the coils to be electromagnetically coupled to each other. Thus, the characteristic of the helical resonator filter can be controlled as desired, simply by adjusting the length of that portion of each magnetic core which is inserted in or overlapped by each helical coil.
