Title:
DUAL MODE INDUCTOR LOAD CAVITY FILTER WITH NON-ADJACENT MODE COUPLING
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS5980002
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
An electromagnetic cavity filter (10) is formed by at least two cavities (12) having electrically conductive walls (40,15). When more than two cavities (12) are employed, their midpoints do not have to be colinear; rather, it is sufficient that the angle formed by the midpoints of any three successively coupled cavities is an integral multiple of 90°. Thus, a folded "engine block" geometry can be realized such that the filter's input cavity (12) is proximate to the output cavity (12). This allows a canonic filter response. Each cavity (12) is the equivalent to two filter poles because two orthogonal modes of electromagnetic radiation can resonate therewith. Electrically nonadjacent modes of proximate cavities (12), as well as electrically adjacent modes, can be coupled, permitting elliptic filter functions. Electrically nonadjacent modes are coupled by means of an iris (30) opening between the two cavities (12). Electrically adjacent modes are coupled by means of an electrically conductive probe (22) penetrating each of the two cavities (12). A dielectric resonator (20) can be disposed within each cavity (12) to reduce the physical size of the cavity (12) while preserving its electrical characteristics.
