  • Band agile filter
    Patent number: 7327210
    Abstract: A microwave filter and method for remotely tuning a microwave filter from one sub-band to another sub-band using metallic rings to adjust the capacitance or inductance of the resonator. In adjusting the capacitance, a plurality of metallic rings are disposed in the upper section or end of the resonator. Each ring has an RF switch that connects or disconnects each ring to ground, thereby varying the capacitance of the resonator. In adjusting the inductance, a plurality of metallic rings are disposed perpendicular to the magnetic field of the resonator. Each ring has an RF switch disposed within the electrical path of the ring that opens or closes the electrical path of each ring. By opening and closing each ring, the magnetic field of the resonator is altered, thereby varying the inductance of the resonator.
    Type: Grant

  • System for cross coupling resonators
    Patent number: 6642814
    Abstract: A system for inductively cross coupling resonators. Two resonators are interconnected by a cross coupler with the two ends, each end having a hole. The holes secures each end of the cross coupler to one of the resonators. The use of a stamped piece as a cross coupler results in a repeatable placement between resonators that minimizes any variation in coupling between resonators due to human error during assembly. This repeatability reduces assembly time and assembly cost.
