  • Patent number: 6131020
    Abstract: An arrangement for measuring a condition of an antenna in a mobile telephone system has a radio equipment and a transmission line connecting the radio equipment to the antenna. The transmission line has opposite end sections, whereby one of the end sections of the transmission line is closer to the antenna than the other of the end sections of the transmission line. A masthead amplifier is at the one of the end sections of the transmission line, the masthead amplifier having first and second duplex filters, an RX branch, a TX branch and an amplifier element in the RX branch, wherein the RX branch, the TX branch and the amplifier element are between the duplex filters. The standing wave ratio is measured and a measuring value calculated therefrom within the one end section of the transmission line for measuring the condition of the antenna.

  • Patent number: 5923233
    Abstract: In the present invention, a tuning circuit which includes a controllable switch based on a diode (D1), for example, and which is connected in parallel with a resonator, is located between the low impedance end of a center conductor (11) of a quarter wavelength resonator and ground, whereupon resonant frequency tuning is based mainly on a change in the inductance of the resonator. Voltages and power affecting a tuning circuit realized according to this invention are essentially smaller than in a circuit in which the capacitive load of a resonator is tuned by means of a similar tuning circuit located at the high impedance end of the resonator.

  • Patent number: 5874872
    Abstract: A filter has a shell construction including a connection surface and a bar-like resonator in the shell construction. The bar-like resonator has an initial section having one end region thereof connected to the connection surface of the shell construction and an opposite end region. A substantially straight and elogate intermediate section extends from the opposite end region of the initial section to an end and a turning-point section extends from the end of the intermediate section to an end. A substantially straight and elongate end section has one end connected to the end of the turning-point section so as to extend adjacent to the intermediate section and supporting means connect to the connection surface of the shell construction for supporting the bar-like reasonator at least at one of the end section and turning-point.

  • Patent number: 5734306
    Abstract: A coaxial resonator of modular construction, wherein the resonator is formed from two or more blocks, or modules, that are fastened to each other. Conductively plated surfaces of the modules may form the center conductor and at least part of the shield of the resonator. A dielectric layer is formed at least partially from the module material, typically ceramic. The module blocks are advantageously made by being cut from ceramic substrate. A resonator, or filter including at least one resonator, can be manufactured without special tools, and may be fabricated by manually assembling modules or by using automatic assembly methods, such as by known printed circuit board assembly techniques.
