  • Patent number: 8008990
    Abstract: The invention relates generally to RF and microwave multiplexers implemented with a plurality of coupled resonators. More specifically, the present invention relates to multiplexers configured to require only a plurality of resonators and series, shunt, cross couplings and input/output couplings between them. It is a main feature of the invention that no microwave dividers, combiners, circulators, or other junctions are necessary for the distribution of microwave energy among the coupled resonators. This is achieved for example by a P-channel multiplexer comprising P rows of coupled resonators, a common input terminal connected to the first resonator of at least one of said rows, and P channel output terminals connected with the last resonator in each row, and at least one coupling between resonators belonging to different rows.

  • Patent number: 7084719
    Abstract: A direct coupled resonator filter having a plurality of resonant cavities (15) such that they are separated by inner walls (18) and a coupling structure (16) couples two adjoining resonant cavities (15) since the coupling structure is located in a slot (20) defined in the inner wall (18). Thus, a portion of an edge of the slot (20) comes into electrical contact with the coupling structure (16). In general, this portion of the edge of the slot (20) corresponds to a horizontal edge surface of the inner wall (18). It should be noted that the coupling structure (16) is perpendicular to a vertical plane defined by the slot (20).

  • Patent number: 6927652
    Abstract: A microwave filter including a plurality of resonator cavities (1, 10) arranged in more than two adjacent rows and more than two adjacent columns; wherein each resonator cavity is coupled with at least a sequential adjacent resonator cavity for providing a main path for an electromagnetic energy to be transmitted from a first resonator cavity (1) to a last resonator cavity (10). The electromagnetic energy is injected into the first resonator cavity (1) by an input terminal (20) through an input coupling, and the electromagnetic energy is extracted from the last resonator cavity (10) by an output terminal (21) through an output coupling, and the first (1) and last (10) resonator cavities are non-sequential adjacent cavities.
