  • Patent number: 6958667
    Abstract: A band-pass filter functioning as a electronic chip component includes a chip having upper and lower surfaces, a pair of side surfaces, and first and second end surfaces facing each other. A resonator electrode is disposed in the chip. The band-pass filter also includes input and output electrodes extending in the vertical direction, which are coupled or connected to the resonator electrode, and a tubular first ground electrode surrounding the chip so as to enclose the resonator electrode. The input and output electrodes are disposed at end portions or inner sides of the tubular portion so as not to be electrically connected to the first ground electrode. The band-pass filter further includes two pairs of second ground electrodes which are disposed on both sides of the input electrode and/or output electrode and which are electrically connected to the first ground electrode.

  • Patent number: 6812813
    Abstract: A method for easily adjusting the frequency of an attenuation pole in a dual-mode band pass filter which is very compact and greatly increases coupling strength while maintaining a great deal of freedom of design. The dual-mode band pass filter includes a metal film partially disposed on a main surface of a dielectric substrate or disposed inside of the dielectric resonator so as to define a resonator. An opening is formed in the metal film to couple two resonance modes. Input/output coupling circuits are coupled to the metal film. At least one of coupling portions of the input/output coupling circuits or input/output portions thereof are moved in a direction along a perimeter of the metal film.

  • Publication number: 20040209581
    Abstract: A dual-mode bandpass filter includes a dielectric substrate, a resonator electrode disposed at a certain height in the dielectric substrate, and a ground electrode disposed at a different height in the dielectric substrate from the resonator electrode so as to oppose the resonator electrode. The ground electrode has a opening, whereby a resonant electric field of the resonator electrode is controlled to couple two resonant modes generated in the resonator electrode.
