Abstract
Abstract A coaxial dielectric resonator for use at high frequency. The outer or inner peripheral surface of a tubular dielectric member is stepped so as to provide a greater suppression of spurious resonance. The dielectric member has a prism-shaped outer configuration so as to provide a high Q value, as well as improved space factor.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
A coaxial dielectric resonator comprising: a dielectric member having an outer surface and a longitudinally extending aperture formed therethrough so as to define a inner surface, said dielectric member including a first portion and a second portion, said first portion having a cylindrical shape and defining a first end, and said second portion being prism-shaped and defining a second end providing a rectangular end face formed of four sides each having a length which is greater than an outer diameter of said first portion; an outer conductor formed on said outer surface of said dielectric member; an inner conductor formed on said inner surface of said dielectric member; and a short-circuiting member electrically interconnecting said outer conductor with said inner conductor at said second end.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
125 words
A coaxial dielectric resonator comprising: a dielectric member having an outer surface and a longitudinally extending aperture formed therethrough so as to define a inner surface, said dielectric member including a first portion and a second portion, said first portion having a cylindrical shape and defining a first end, and said second portion being prism-shaped and defining a second end providing a rectangular end face formed of four sides each having a length which is greater than an outer diameter of said first portion; an outer conductor formed on said outer surface of said dielectric member; an inner conductor formed on said inner surface of said dielectric member; and a short-circuiting member electrically interconnecting said outer conductor with said inner conductor at said second end.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
157 words
A coaxial dielectric resonator comprising: a dielectric member having an outer surface and a longitudinally extending aperture formed therethrough so as to define an inner surface, said dielectric member including a first portion and a second portion, said first portion being prism-shaped and defining a first end providing a first rectangular end face formed of four sides, and said second portion being prism-shaped and defining a second end providing a second end face formed of four sides corresponding to said four sides of said first rectangular end face, said four sides of said second rectangular end face having respective lengths which are longer than corresponding lengths of said corresponding sides of said first rectangular end face; an outer conductor formed on said outer surface of said dielectric member; an inner conductor formed on said inner surface of said dielectric member; and a short-circuiting member electrically interconnecting said outer conductor with said inner conductor at said second end.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
