  • Patent number: 4977383
    Abstract: The invention relates to a resonator structure comprising a printed board of an insulating material; a helix resonator mounted on the printed board, the helix resonator being formed by a wire wound into a cylindrical coil with a number of turns, one of the turns comprising a straight portion bent in parallel with the surface of the printed board; and a casing surrounding the helix resonator and having at least an inner and outer surface made of an electrically conductive material. In order to improve the reproduction fidelity of the matching of the helix resonator in series production, the resonator structure according to the invention is characterized in that a micro strip conductor is provided on the surface of the printed board, the microstrip being electrically connected to a predetermined position on said straight portion.
