  • Publication number: 20230291084
    Abstract: Arrangements for a frequency adjustable filter, which includes at least a housing, which includes one or more cavities closed by a lid above the housing are disclosed. In an arrangement, there is, per a cavity forming a resonator, a first resonator element extending from the lid, a second resonator element extending from the bottom, the second resonator element partially overlapping the first resonator element, an adjusting bar extending inside an area in which the first and the second resonator elements are overlapping, the adjusting bar being arranged to move within said area, a first hole either in the lid or in the bottom, a driving shaft, and an actuator arranged to move the adjusting bar through the first hole by means of the driving shaft. At least the first resonator element, the second resonator element and the adjusting bar are positioned to have a common vertical central axis.

  • Patent number: 10978774
    Abstract: A resonator (40) for a filter comprises (i) a cavity (49) having first and second opposing conductive end walls (41, 42) and a conductive side wall (43); (ii) a conductive post (44) extending into the cavity from the first conductive end wall, the end of the conductive post remote from the first conductive end wall being provided or integral with a hollow conductive element (45) which is flared and increases in cross-section in a direction towards the second conductive end wall; and (iii) a load element (47) extending into the cavity from the second conductive end wall, the load element being flared and decreasing in cross-section in a direction away from the second conductive end wall. The end of the load element remote from the second conductive end wall extends into the end of the hollow conductive element remote from the conductive post and forms an annular gap with the hollow conductive element. The resonator has improved power-handling compared to resonators of the prior art.

  • Patent number: 10756403
    Abstract: A cavity resonator assembly and filters formed from assemblies are provided. The resonator assembly comprising: a first resonator cavity, a first resonant member, and a first signal feed; a second resonator cavity, a second resonant member, and a second signal feed. The first resonant member is-located within the first resonator cavity, arranged to receive a signal from the first signal feed and configured to resonate within the first cavity at a first fundamental frequency. The second resonant member is-located within the second resonator cavity, arranged to receive a signal from the second signal feed and configured to resonate within the second cavity at a second fundamental frequency. At least a portion of the second cavity is housed within the first resonant member. The first resonator cavity surface from which the first resonant member extends is offset from a second resonator cavity surface from which the second resonant member extends.
