Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
64 words
A magnetically tunable dielectric resonator comprising a support, a magnetically saturable shield mounted adjacent one side of said support, a ceramic microwave resonator mounted to a side of said shield facing away from said support, means for inducing magnetic flux of variable flux densities into said shield for resonant frequency tuning, and a second ceramic microwave resonator mounted between said support and said shield.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
64 words
A magnetically tunable dielectric resonator comprising a support, a magnetically saturable shield mounted adjacent one side of said support, a ceramic microwave resonator mounted to a side of said shield facing away from said support, means for inducing magnetic flux of variable flux densities into said shield for resonant frequency tuning, and a second ceramic microwave resonator mounted between said support and said shield.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
The dielectric resonator of claim 1 wherein said ceramic microwave resonator and said second ceramic microwave resonator have substantially the same size and shape.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
91 words
A magnetically tunable resonator comprising, in combination, first and second dielectric resonators mounted adjacent to a substrate with said second dielectric resonator located between said first dielectric resonator and said substrate, a magnetically saturable ceramic shield mounted between said first and second dielectric resonators, and means for inducing magnetic flux of variable flux densities into said magnetically saturable shield thereby for tuning the resonator by effectively changing the electromagnetic dimensions of the first and second dielectric resonators by altering the geometry of flux penetration in the first and second dielectric resonators.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
91 words
A magnetically tunable resonator comprising, in combination, first and second dielectric resonators mounted adjacent to a substrate with said second dielectric resonator located between said first dielectric resonator and said substrate, a magnetically saturable ceramic shield mounted between said first and second dielectric resonators, and means for inducing magnetic flux of variable flux densities into said magnetically saturable shield thereby for tuning the resonator by effectively changing the electromagnetic dimensions of the first and second dielectric resonators by altering the geometry of flux penetration in the first and second dielectric resonators.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
24 words
The magnetically tunable resonator of claim 3 wherein said first dielectric resonator and said second dielectric resonator have substantially the same size and shape.
