Abstract
Abstract The disclosure is directed to an improved coaxial resonator such as a λ/4 coaxial resonator or the like to be used for an electrical filter or oscillator, etc. which operates, for example, in UHF ranges. The coaxial resonator includes a stator electrode provided on the resonator main body, a rotor of a dielectric material formed with a rotor electrode confronting the stator electrode and rotatably mounted on the resonator main body so as to vary capacity between the stator electrode and the rotor electrode through rotation of the rotor for alterations of the resonance frequency.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
120 words
A coaxial resonator which comprises: a coaxial resonator main body including a cylindrical dielectric member, an electrode layer continuously formed over an inner peripheral surface, an outer peripheral surface and one end face of said dielectric member, and a stator electrode formed on the other end face of said dielectric member not formed with said electrode layer, and a rotor member of a dielectric material rotatably held in close contact with said the other end face of said coaxial resonator main body on which said stator electrode is formed, and provided with a rotor electrode confronting said stator electrode, said coaxial resonator being arranged to vary capacity between said stator electrode and said rotor electrode by rotating said rotor member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
120 words
A coaxial resonator which comprises: a coaxial resonator main body including a cylindrical dielectric member, an electrode layer continuously formed over an inner peripheral surface, an outer peripheral surface and one end face of said dielectric member, and a stator electrode formed on the other end face of said dielectric member not formed with said electrode layer, and a rotor member of a dielectric material rotatably held in close contact with said the other end face of said coaxial resonator main body on which said stator electrode is formed, and provided with a rotor electrode confronting said stator electrode, said coaxial resonator being arranged to vary capacity between said stator electrode and said rotor electrode by rotating said rotor member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
A coaxial resonator as claimed in claim 1, wherein said rotor member is rotatably mounted on the coaxial resonator main body through a shaft member extending through said coaxial resonator main body and said rotor member.
