Abstract
Abstract The invention provides electromagnetic resonators and high frequency filters constructed from these resonators which are formed by parallelepipeds made from a dielectric material, each of these parallelepipeds being covered with at least two metalizations disposed parallel to the direction of movement of an electromagnetic wave.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
105 words
A high frequency filter comprising: a grounded case having a substantially rectangular shape having top and bottom surfaces wherein the bottom of said case is covered with an insulating substrate which has a low dielectric constant: at least one resonator fixed to said substrate and wherein each said resonator comprises a dielectric body parallelepiped in shape having six faces with four of the said faces being entirely covered by metallic deposits and having two remaining opposite faces uncovered and wherein opposing metallic deposits are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the said substrate and wherein coupling to each resonator is provided by mutual inductance.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
105 words
A high frequency filter comprising: a grounded case having a substantially rectangular shape having top and bottom surfaces wherein the bottom of said case is covered with an insulating substrate which has a low dielectric constant: at least one resonator fixed to said substrate and wherein each said resonator comprises a dielectric body parallelepiped in shape having six faces with four of the said faces being entirely covered by metallic deposits and having two remaining opposite faces uncovered and wherein opposing metallic deposits are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the said substrate and wherein coupling to each resonator is provided by mutual inductance.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
49 words
The high frequency filter as claimed in claim 1, wherein said resonators are arranged between energizing and collecting means forming the input and output terminals of said filter so that any incident electromagnetic energy is filtered successively by said resonators; the presence of said resonators producing a bandpass filter.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
45 words
The high frequency filter as claimed in claim 1, wherein said resonators are arranged so as to take electromagnetic energy conveyed by a propagation line connecting together the input and output terminals of said filter; the presence of said resonators producing a band cut-off filter.
