Abstract

Abstract A resonator comprising an equivalent circuit including an LC series circuit having a first capacitance element and inductance elements connected in series to both sides of the first capacitance element, and a second capacitance element connected parallel to the LC series circuit. A plurality of resonators having this construction may be magnetically connected in series to provide a filter, by utilizing the two inductance elements constituting parts of the resonator and without necessitating separate coupling members such as capacitors or coils.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 253 words
A microwave resonator device comprising a circuit including a first capacitance element and first and second inductance elements connected in a series circuit with said first capacitance element, one said inductance element being connected at each side of said first capacitance element, and a second capacitance element connected in parallel with said series circuit, said resonator device comprising: a dielectric substrate having a front face and a back face; a first pair of capacitor electrodes forming said first capacitance element, one electrode of said first pair being formed along one side of each of said front and back faces of said substrate, respectively, said first pair of said electrodes being opposed to one another across the substrate; a second pair of capacitor electrodes forming said second capacitance element, one electrode of said second pair being formed, respectively, along a second side of each of said front and back faces of said substrate opposite to said one side of said substrate, said second pair of electrodes being opposed to each other across the substrate; a first coil layer forming said first inductance element formed on said first face of said substrate, along one end thereof, connecting said electrodes of said first and second capacitance elements formed on said first face; and a second coil layer forming said second inductance element formed on said second face of said substrate, along another end thereof opposite said one end, connecting said electrodes of said first and second capacitance elements formed on said second face of said substrate.
