Abstract
Abstract A filter having a dielectric resonator, the filter comprising at least one cylindrical cavity (10) inside which there is a dielectric resonator (11) whose axis of symmetry (Δ) is colinear with the axis of symmetry of the cavity (10), the filter being characterized in that the resonator is held by a system of dished washers (15, 16). Applicable to microwave frequencies.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
162 words
A filter comprising at least one member having a cylindrical cavity (10) having an axis of symmetry, a dielectric resonator (11) inside said cavity (10) having an axis of symmetry (Δ) colinear with the axis of symmetry of the cavity (10), first and second washers (15, 16) having opposite axial ends holding said resonator in said cavity; said first washer (15) being terminated at a first end by studs (17) bearing axially against a rim (12) formed on the inside wall of the cavity (10) and at a second axial end by a plurality of circumferentially separated surfaces (18) bearing axially against the resonator (11); said second washer (16) being terminated at a first axial end by a radially internal conical surface (19) bearing lock screws passing through the cavity defining member and holding the resonator (11) in place in the cavity, and at a second axial end by a plurality of circumferentially separate surfaces (18) bearing axially against the resonator (11).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
