  • Patent number: 5248949
    Abstract: A flat type dielectric filter comprises a substantially U-shaped strip line formed such that each center frequency of spurious output deviates from each odd number frequency times the center frequency of the dielectric filter. That is, it comprises a first portion so curved to form an open loop and two second portions formed to have a larger width than the first portion, each of the second portions being provided to an end of the first portion such that each extends in the opposite direction to the other. In this filter, input/output electrodes confronting ends of U-shaped strip line can be formed on a different layer from the layer where the resonator is formed in order to reduce its size. Reduction of size can be obtained by vertically folding the U-shaped strip line extending horizontally. Terminals of this filter formed on the side surface have a first layer formed on the side surface and a second layer formed on the first layer.

  • Patent number: 5055809
    Abstract: A resonator having a strip line, the strip line comprising: a first portion forming an open loop; and two second portions, each provided to each end of the first portion, the second portions facing each other with a given distance therebetween, the distance and length of the second portion being determined such that necessary capacitance is provided. The capacitor is provided instead of a discrete capacitor for saving space and for reducing dielectric loss therein. A second resonator further comprises second and third capacitor having a semicircle strip-line patterns for providing capacitances between ends of the first portion and grounded planes which decrease the resonance frequency so that size of the second resonator are reduced. A third resonator also comprises the first capacitor, but arranged outside of the first portion. Capacitance of the first capacitor can be increased by teeth provided to the second portions.

  • Patent number: 4964587
    Abstract: A coiler has a plurality of frame units. Each frame unit includes a first frame having a free end portion facing to the periphery of a mandrel for coiling a band plate and a base end portion rotatably pivoted to a shaft parallel to the axis of the mandrel. A first drive unit moves the first frame. A second frame is rotatably pivoted at the free end portion of the first frame to a shaft parallel to the axis of the mandrel. A second drive unit moves the second frame. A pressing roller is rotatably supported by the second frame for assisting fastening of the band plate around the mandrel. A circular guide is provided on the second frame to face the mandrel.
