Patent number: 7825751Abstract: In resonant elements 102 to 105 constituting a resonant circuit, an uncontrolled cross coupling which exists between two resonant elements is controlled by using a coupling element 106 which is newly arranged between the resonant elements, whereby it is possible to create a state where two resonant elements are not coupled with each other or a state where the amount of the coupling is reduced, which states are difficult to be realized on a plane. As a result, it is possible to improve characteristics of a planar filter.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2007Date of Patent: November 2, 2010Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Tamio Kawaguchi, Fumihiko Aiga, Hiroyuki Kayano, Noritsugu Shiokawa, Tatsunori Hashimoto
