Abstract: In an electromechanical filter, poles are obtained by interconnecting an electrical reactance between the input and output of the filter. It is shown that this impedance behaves as a mechanical bridge.

Abstract: An electromechanical bandpass filter includes at least one real pole consisting of vibrating resonators and couplers between adjacent resonators arranged as filter cells connected in parallel. Each cell includes a coupler and a half of each of the adjacent resonators. At least one bridge extends over at least one resonator and the image mobility of the cells which are spanned by the bridge is equal to the image mobility of the cells in an unbridged electromechanical filter of the same type and having the same passband.

Abstract: An electromechanical filter comprising resonators interconnected by couplers and at least one bridge strapping over several resonators in which said resonators are longitudinally vibrating, said couplers and bridge are bending and the number of strapped resonators is a multiple of four. Such a filter shows improved phase characteristic within the pass band.

Abstract: The resonance frequency of rod shaped mechanical resonators with a high quality factor such as used in electromechanical filters is obtained by shock exciting the resonator into vibration introduced into a solenoid collecting a voltage induced by said vibration across the solenoid terminals. Said shock is either mechanical or magnetic.

Abstract: In an electromechanical filter comprising longitudinally vibrating resonators intercoupled by means of longitudinally vibrating rods, the transducers each consist of two halves located on two flats machined on the same outermost resonator along two parallel planes.
