  • Publication number: 20080266033
    Abstract: A resonance pattern (21) made of conductive material and having a circular plan shape is formed over the principal surface of a dielectric substrate. First and second virtual straight lines mutually crossing at a right angle are defined. A first input port (22) and a first output port (23) are electromagnetically coupled to the resonance pattern at two cross points between the first virtual straight line and an outer circumference line of the resonance pattern. A second input port (24) and a second output port (25) are electromagnetically coupled to the resonance pattern at two cross points between the second virtual straight line and the outer circumference line of the resonance pattern. A first inter-port waveguide (26) propagates a high frequency signal output to the first output port to the second input port.

  • Publication number: 20080146450
    Abstract: In a wall of a package base made of aluminum or aluminum alloy, there is formed a through-hole, through which a semi-rigid coaxial cable passes. A central conductor of the semi-rigid coaxial cable is joined to an electrode with a solder material. The semi-rigid coaxial cable has an insulating material through which the central conductor passes and an outer conductor provided therearound. The central conductor and outer conductor are made of stainless steel, for example, and the insulating material is made of fluororesin, for example. Inside the through-hole, the wall of the package base and the outer conductor are electrically connected to each other via a stainless material within the hole formed in a cylindrical fluororesin material. The semi-rigid coaxial cable and the like are fixed to the wall with a conductive screw.

  • Publication number: 20080061908
    Abstract: The coaxial connector 10 to be connected with a coaxial cable has a surface covering layer 20 formed of a metal material which causes an eutectic reaction with In on the surface of a terminal 12 which is a core conductor. Because of the surface covering layer 20 of a metal material which causes the eutectic reaction with In formed on the surface of the terminal of the coaxial connector, the terminal of the coaxial connector and the electrode of a superconductor device can be jointed to each other by the solder layer of In-based solder at a relatively low temperature. Thus, the discharge of oxygen from the inside of the superconductor film of a superconductor filter can be suppressed, and the decrease of the critical temperature TC can be suppressed.

    Abstract: A resonator pattern made of superconductive material is disposed over a first surface of a base substrate made of dielectric. An adjustment substrate made of dielectric is disposed facing the first surface at a distance from the first surface. The adjustment substrate is supported by a support mechanism for supporting the adjustment substrate in such a manner capable of changing an angle between the first surface and a surface of the adjustment substrate facing the base substrate. A superconductive filter is provided which can shift a center frequency of a filter band and suppress disturbance of a waveform of a filter characteristic, with a simple method.
