Patent number: 7091800Abstract: A noise filter in which the resonance of noise can be prevented, which is small in size and inexpensive, and is useful especially in an electronic device of which the signal frequency exceeds 100 MHz. In the noise filter, ground conductors are arranged on the outermost layers of a laminate formed by lamination of magnetic sheets and firing thereof. Transmission lines and ground conductors are alternately arranged with the magnetic sheets being sandwiched between them, respectively. Signal electrodes connected to the transmission lines and ground electrodes connected to the ground conductors are formed on the outer surface of the laminate. Thus, a signal is transmitted through the transmission lines while the ground conductors are grounded, and therefore, high frequency noise can be attenuated by utilization of heat loss caused by the magnetic sheets.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2002Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hidetoshi Yamamoto, Katsuyuki Uchida, Kousuke Ishida
