Patent number: 8120449Abstract: The invention relates to a magnetically tunable filter having a filter housing and having two tunable resonator spheres which comprise magnetizable material and are arranged next to one another in two filter branches. Each filter branch comprises a coplanar line arranged on a substrate layer and extending in the direction of an electrical connection, as well as a common coupling opening so that the two filter branches are connected to one another. A resonator sphere is respectively positioned on each side of the coupling opening inside the two filter branches.Type: GrantFiled: July 4, 2007Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: Rohde & Schwarz GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Michael Aigle, Claus Tremmel, Dirk Schneiderbanger, Robert Rehner, Michael Sterns, Lorenz-Peter Schmidt, Sigfried Martius

Patent number: 8115574Abstract: An embedded resonator sharpens the frequency characteristics of a coaxial low pass filter. The resonator introduces finite transmission zeros to the response of the low pass filter, thereby suppressing spurious modes occurring just above the operating frequency. Two parameters are used to tune the operation of the embedded resonator. The length of an insert into the filter's transmission line substantially controls the resonant frequency, and the gap width substantially controls the coupling of the embedded resonator to the low pass filter.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2008Date of Patent: February 14, 2012Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventor: Michael Joseph Adkins

Patent number: 8098117Abstract: An LC composite component has a unique structure that makes it easy to set frequency characteristics while reducing a circuit area and the number of layers. The LC composite component includes a laminated body including a plurality of dielectric layers. The laminated body is produced by forming input and output electrodes and an LC resonant circuit therein. The LC composite component includes a capacitor, which includes an elongated electrode portion having an elongated shape. The elongated electrode portion faces a flat electrode portion having a flat shape, with one of the dielectric layers interposed therebetween. At the same time, the elongated electrode portion constitutes an open stub that is open at a tip end.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2010Date of Patent: January 17, 2012Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventor: Yosuke Matsushita

Patent number: 7982561Abstract: A resonator system is presented that has first and second cavity resonators for use in an RF amplifying system employing an RF amplifier device having an output circuit and an RF signal broadcasting antenna coupled to the output circuit. The resonators are interposed between the amplifying device output terminal and the antenna. The first resonator is comprised of a transmission line being a length of two coaxial conductors and tuned to the 3rd harmonic of the operating frequency (3fo). Each resonator has first and second opposing ends with the first end being an open end and the second end being a shorted end. The open end of the first resonator is connected to the output terminal of the RF amplifying device. The second resonator is connected in series with the first resonator and is tuned to the fundamental operating frequency (fo).Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2008Date of Patent: July 19, 2011Assignee: Harris CorporationInventor: Geoffrey Norman Mendenhall
