  • Patent number: 6992548
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to optimize arrangement of through holes and enable electromagnetic waves to be efficiently propagated. A cylindrical waveguide has a dielectric substrate, ground electrodes which face each other, and a plurality of through holes for bringing the ground electrodes into conduction. In the case of determining arrangement of the through holes, first, the relation between a center interval and the radius of each of the through holes is obtained from required attenuance of electromagnetic waves. On the basis of the obtained relation, arrangement of the through holes is determined. Irrespective of a signal wavelength and the like conventionally used as parameters, the arrangement of the through holes can be optimized.

    Abstract: Provided are a filter and a method of arranging resonators, which enable forming an attenuation pole and thus achieving excellent frequency characteristics. The filter includes a plurality of resonators. An electromagnetic wave enters through an input end into one of the resonators and exits through an output end from another resonator. The resonators are arranged so that two propagation paths are formed between the input end of one resonator and the output end of another resonator. Forming a plurality of propagation paths allows producing the attenuation pole.

  • Publication number: 20040085153
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to enable mode conversion between a TEM mode and another mode to be performed among a plurality of waveguides. An RF module comprises: a TEM waveguide as a first waveguide for propagating electromagnetic waves in a TEM mode; and a waveguide having a multilayer structure as a second waveguide connected to the first waveguide, for propagating electromagnetic waves in another mode different from the TEM mode. An end of the first waveguide is directly conductively connected to one of ground electrodes of the second waveguide from the stacking direction side of the ground electrodes. Since magnetic fields are coupled so that the direction of the magnetic field of the first waveguide and that of the magnetic field of the second waveguide match with each other in the H plane, mode conversion between the TEM mode and another mode can be excellently performed between the waveguides.
