Abstract
Abstract A filter for very short electromagnetic waves is disclosed in which a plurality of resonators are formed in a row with each resonator containing two filter circuits. The resonators are operated in a dual mode and the filter circuits are arranged in an electrical sequential manner. First and last filter circuits in a direction of the transmitted energy are provided with input and output lines, respectively. At least one additional coupling is provided between at least two filter circuits which do not directly follow one another in electrical sequential fashion. At least one of the resonators provides two filter circuits which are not adjacent with respect to one another in electrical sequential fashion and are coupled via an additional coupling.
