Abstract

See full text

A dielectric waveguide filter comprising a block of dielectric material including a plurality of resonators defined by a plurality of slots defined in the block of dielectric material. The resonators are arranged on the block of dielectric material in one or more rows and columns. First and second RF signal input/output electrodes are defined on the block of dielectric material. A first direct RF signal transmission path for the transmission of an RF signal is defined by the first and second RF signal input/output electrodes and the plurality of resonators. In one embodiment, internal windows define a first direct RF signal transmission means and additional RF signal transmission means define alternate or cross-coupling paths for the transmission of the RF signal from resonators in one column to resonators in another column. In one embodiment, the filter is comprised of two separate blocks of dielectric material which have been coupled together.
