Abstract
Abstract Planar dual mode filters (30) are formed by a conductive resonator (20) having circular symmetry and two pairs of symmetrically oriented planar conductive leads (22, 26 and 24, 28). The conductive leads (22, 26 and 24, 28) are aligned colinearly with two orthogonal diameters (32, 34, respectively) of the circular conductive resonator (20) and are electrically isolated from said resonator (20). A perturbation (38) located on an axis (36) oriented symmetrically with respect to the two pairs of conductive lead (22, 26 and 24, 28) couples electromagnetic modes which are injected into the resonator (20) by the planar conductive leads (22, 26 and 24, 28). Higher order filter circuits can be realized by combining multiple filters (30) of the present invention. The filters (30) are amenable to printed circuit (microstrip to stripline) fabrication using superconductors for the conductive elements.
