Abstract
Abstract In a dielectric material block surrounded by a metal film at least one air hole is provided. Inner faces of the at least one air hole are partly applied with at least one metal film. The at least one air hole is provided for providing coupled distributed lines, which are mutually coupled by electric fields passing partly through the at least one air hole, so as to realize a dielectric band pass filter, which has a small-sized structure and attains high precision and non-alignment of resonant frequency.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
129 words
A quasi-TEM mode dielectric filter comprising: a dielectric material block, surrounded by a first conductor film, having a plurality of holes formed therethrough, individual ones of said plurality of holes including: a second conductor film disposed on a first portion of an inner periphery of a respective hole, and a third conductor film disposed on a second portion of an inner periphery of said respective hole, said first portion and said second portion not being in direct contact with one another, and wherein (i) said respective hole, (ii) said second conductor film and (iii) said third conductor film cooperate to define a resonator unit including uniform quasi-TEM mode lines, and wherein an electro-magnetic field coupling between said second and third conductor films passes through each of said individual holes.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
129 words
A quasi-TEM mode dielectric filter comprising: a dielectric material block, surrounded by a first conductor film, having a plurality of holes formed therethrough, individual ones of said plurality of holes including: a second conductor film disposed on a first portion of an inner periphery of a respective hole, and a third conductor film disposed on a second portion of an inner periphery of said respective hole, said first portion and said second portion not being in direct contact with one another, and wherein (i) said respective hole, (ii) said second conductor film and (iii) said third conductor film cooperate to define a resonator unit including uniform quasi-TEM mode lines, and wherein an electro-magnetic field coupling between said second and third conductor films passes through each of said individual holes.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
A quasi-TEM mode dielectric filter as claimed in claim 1, wherein individual ones of said uniform quasi-TEM mode lines cooperate to define a multi-stage band-pass dielectric filter.
