  • Patent number: 11431068
    Abstract: A frequency variable filter includes variable resonators aligned in a predetermined direction, a coupling part configured to couple the adjacent variable resonators, and a coupling variable dielectric. The variable resonator includes a resonator and a frequency variable dielectric disposed in a movable state relative to the resonator, and is configured to be able to change a resonance frequency according to a position of the frequency variable dielectric with respect to the resonator. This applies to aligned variable resonators other than this variable resonator. The coupling variable dielectric is disposed in a movable state with respect to the coupling part and configured to adjust a coupling coefficient according to an amount of insertion into the coupling part. The coupling variable dielectric is disposed so that a movable surface of the coupling variable dielectric is on the same plane as a movable surface of the frequency variable dielectric.

  • Patent number: 10673112
    Abstract: A coaxial line having a small transmission loss and a variable operating frequency can be provided. The coaxial line includes one or a plurality of unit structures repeatedly arranged in a direction of a central axis. The unit structure includes an inner conductor, two dielectrics arranged in the central-axial direction so as to sandwich the inner conductor therebetween, an outer conductor configured to envelop the inner conductor and the dielectrics, and an inductor connected between the inner conductor and the outer conductor.

  • Patent number: 10158182
    Abstract: A first waveguide guides a first radio wave whose electric field is vibrated in a first direction along a second direction. A second waveguide guides the first radio wave along the second direction and is cascade connected to the first waveguide. An input and output end multiplexes the first radio waves from the first and second waveguides and outputs the multiplexed radio wave, and outputs the first radio wave branched off from a radio wave from outside to the first and second waveguides. A first waveguide shift portion is shifted from the first waveguide in the first direction. A second waveguide shift portion is shifted from the second waveguide in the first direction. The vibration directions of electric fields of radio waves passing through the end parts of the first and second waveguide shift portions are rotated by 90° about a third direction.

  • Publication number: 20150236392
    Abstract: A band-pass filter of the present invention is a band-pass filter provided with rectangular waveguides separated from each other along a middle of a broad width surface of the filter, and a metal plate interposed between the rectangular waveguides, wherein at least one of coupling plates formed of the metal plate is cut. Accordingly, it is possible to implement a band-pass filter having an increased range of values of the implementable coupling coefficient, and a wide bandwidth requiring a high coupling coefficient.
