  • Patent number: 8947179
    Abstract: The invention discloses a high-frequency filter in coaxial design which allows a simple option for tuning resonators contained in the high-frequency filter. In order to tune the resonator(s), a first tuning element is mechanically anchored in the second terminating wall such that the element is rotationally fixed and the axial length thereof cannot be varied, and a second tuning element, the position of which can be varied, is provided in the longitudinal opening of the inner conductor, wherein the second tuning element consists of a dielectric material, or comprises dielectric material, at least in the region facing the second outside wall, wherein the axial position of the second tuning element can be varied in the spacing area between the inside face of the inner conductor and the first tuning element. The second tuning element can be accessed and/or actuated from the outer side of the first terminating wall to effect a variation of the axial position.

    Abstract: A feed or output-coupling apparatus for coaxial lines has a spur line which is short-circuited at the end. In order, at least in the case of a single coaxial line, to allow a broadband connection of the inner conductor to the outer conductor, or at least in the case of a multiple coaxial line, to allow a corresponding short-circuiting connection between the inner conductor and outer conductor at least in a narrowband form, at least two interleaved coaxial spur lines are provided. Each spur line is short-circuited at their respective ends via a short-circuit with their lengths being dimensioned such that the associated short-circuit at the feed and connecting point is transformed to an open circuit, depending on the respectively appropriate frequency band range.
