Abstract: An electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter or frequency filters (e.g. bandpass or band reject filters) in which a capacitor has an inductance cancellation loop. Inductive coupling between capacitors can allow undesired high frequencies to propagate across a filter. This is particularly a concern when the capacitors are oriented in parallel. In the present invention, the inductance cancellation loop is disposed adjacent to one capacitor so that mutual inductance between the capacitors is reduced. The attenuation of the filter at high frequencies is thereby increased. The loop can increase voltage attenuation of an EMI filter by about 20 dB. In another aspect, inductors in the filter are oriented horizontally relative to a circuitboard. Horizontal orientation reduces leakage inductance coupling between the inductors and circuitboard traces, and between the inductor and capacitors, thereby preventing unwanted propagation of high frequencies.

Abstract: A conductive layer is formed on each of the upper and lower surfaces of a dielectric substrate, and the two conductive layers are connected by rows of via-holes that are formed which a spacing that is less than or equal to ½ of the wavelength in the dielectric substrate in the resonance frequency, whereby n stages of dielectric resonators and input/output waveguide structures are formed. If the number n of stages is assumed to be 3, the first-stage resonator and the second-stage resonator are coupled by an electromagnetic field by means of via-holes of a first spacing; the second-stage resonator and the third-stage resonator are coupled by an electromagnetic by means of via-holes of a second spacing, whereby a filter is formed. The input/output waveguide structure and the filter are coupled by an electromagnetic by means of via-holes of a fourth spacing. The first-stage resonator and the third-stage resonator are coupled by an electromagnetic field by means of via-holes of a third spacing.

Abstract: A center conductor having a length L1, which is equivalent in electrical length to one quarter wavelength, and ground conductors disposed on the opposite sides of the center conductor with a gap portion therebetween in coplanar manner are formed on a dielectric substrate. The center conductor and the ground conductors located on the opposite sides thereof, and are connected together by shorting ends. This results in the formation of corner areas, respectively, whereby obtaining a coplanar waveguide resonator. An edge line of the shorting end is recessed to have a curve configuration so that each corner area has an angle greater than 90 degrees, which reduces power current concentration at the corner points in the respective corner areas.

Abstract: In a dielectric resonator device, the outer shape of a support base is larger than the bottom surface of a dielectric core which is in contact with the support base, and the support base is fixed on the inner bottom surface of the cavity with support columns at the periphery of the support base. With this configuration, an air space can be provided between the inner bottom surface of the cavity and the support base. Accordingly, the resonant frequency of the TMz mode in which the electric field vector directs perpendicularly to the surface of the support base is increased so that it is considerably away from the resonant frequency of the TE01? multiple mode.

Abstract: Systems and methods are taught for blocking the propagation of electromagnetic waves in parallel-plate waveguide (PPW) structures. Periodic arrays of resonant vias are used to create broadband high frequency stop bands in the PPW, while permitting DC and low frequency waves to propagate. Particular embodiments include clusters of small vias that effectively function as one large via, thereby increasing stop band bandwidth and maximizing parallel plate capacitance. Cluster vias can be configured to additionally provide a shielded and impedance matched route within the interior area of the cluster through which signal vias can connect transmission lines disposed in planes lying above and below the PPW. Important applications include electromagnetic noise reduction in layered electronic devices such as circuit boards, ceramic modules, and semiconductor chips.
