  • Patent number: 7474176
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a sliding screw arrangement (14) for transformation of the rotational movement of a threaded axis (13) into a linear movement of the sliding screw providing minimized tolerances for variations of the screw position in both radial and axial direction and providing minimized friction when moving the sliding screw arrangement along said threaded axis. The screw arrangement consists preferably of two parts (20, 30) and comprises a first resilient part, e.g. a spring (143), to compensate tolerances axial direction and a second resilient part, e.g. a resilient tongue (25), and tracks (28) to compensate tolerances in radial direction. The screw hollowness through which the threaded axis is guided is at its inside is equipped with semi-spheres (21,31) that follow the turn of a thread of the axis.

  • Patent number: 7271687
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved tuning arrangement to linearise the sensitivity to frequency changes within a certain frequency range in response to tuner displacements relative to a resonator body. The tuning arrangement comprises a tuner and/or resonator having a non-uniform distribution of the effective dielectric permittivity along the axis of tuner displacement. The non-uniform distribution of the effective dielectric permittivity is realised by subdividing the tuner into an arbitrary number of sections, each of which distinguishable at least by their geometrical shape and the value and distribution of the dielectric coefficient ?r.

  • Patent number: 6670869
    Abstract: The invention relates to a bearing device for a spindle, for example, for a dielectric tuner (13) in a cavity filter for electromagnetic waves. The bearing device comprises at least two sprung tongues (27), each of which has a stud (28) with a partially spherical free end, where at least two of the free ends are in contact with a sliding surface (21, 44). The invention also relates to a cavity filter and a method for assembling the cavity filter.

  • Publication number: 20020089397
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cavity filter for electromagnetic waves. The cavity filter comprises a first casing element (2) and a second casing element (3), which together define a cavity (1), a tuner (11) of dielectric material and a resonator (8) of dielectric material, which resonator is provided with a through-hole to allow the tuner to move at least partially inside the resonator. The resonator is held stationary in the cavity by means of a tube-shaped first support (9) on a first side of the resonator and a tube-shaped second support (10) on a second side of the resonator. The first support is in contact with the resonator at a first contact surface (24), which is adjacent to a first centring surface (25) at an angle to the first contact surface. The second support is in contact with the resonator at a second contact surface (26), which is adjacent to a second centring surface (27) which is at an angle to the second contact surface.

  • Patent number: 6005452
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to filtering in e.g. mobile telephony. A new input loop is introduced wherein the input loop is fixed in its physical relation to the H-field. One end of this input loop is arranged to form a capacitance or an inductance which is then used to adjust the location of the maximum current node in the loop. The adjustment of the position of this maximum current node thereby adjusts the bandwidth of the RF signal. The fixing of the loop has the advantage of simplifying the procedure for tuning the filter. It also has the advantage of reducing the number of tools required for tuning, thereby allowing for a reduction in size occupied by the filter and isolator arrangement, and a reduction in the cabling and materials used.
