Coaxial type tunable hyperfrequency elimination band filter comprising of dielectric resonators
First Claim
1. A tunable hyperfrequency elimination hand filter comprising:
- rectangular box means for forming an external conductor of a coaxial line, said box means having a top, a bottom, two side walls, and a first longitudinal axis;
internal conductor means for forming an internal conductor of said coaxial line, said internal conductor means having a second longitudinal axis which is substantially parallel with said first longitudinal axis, and a width transverse to said second longitudinal axis and parallel to said bottom, said width being reduced at a plurality of predetermined areas along said second longitudinal axis; and
a plurality of cylindrical dielectric resonators disposed so as to form a line of resonators on said bottom adjacent to the reduced width areas of said internal conductor means, each said resonator having a longitudinal axis which is perpendicular to said second longitudinal axis and parallel to said side walls, each said resonator including support means having a dielectric screw connected to said bottom for adjusting a distance between said resonator and said top when said screw is rotated to cause a central frequency of said filter to be tuned.

Abstract
A tunable hyperfrequency elimination band filter forms a coaxial line having a rectangular cross-section external conductor enclosing a rectangular cross-section internal conductor which is substantially co-axial therewith. A plurality of cylindrical resonators are mounted on an interior face of the external conductor. The width of the internal conductor is reduced in areas adjacent to each resonator. The resonators are cylindrically shaped and constructed of a dielectric material. Each resonator is mounted to the interior face by means of dielectric screws which may be adjusted to cause the central frequency of the filter to be tuned. Hyperfrequency absorbent material may be placed on the interior walls in areas opposite the resonators.
