  • Patent number: 5659274
    Abstract: A strip dual mode filter includes a strip line ring resonator having a uniform line impedance and an electric length equivalent to a wavelength of a microwave, an input terminal coupled to a point A of the ring resonator, a feed-back circuit connected to points C and D and arranged in a central hollow space of the ring resonator and an output terminal coupled to a point B of the ring resonator. The points A to D are spaced by a quarter-wave length of the microwave in that order. The microwave input to the point A is resonated in the ring resonator in a first mode and is input to the feed-back circuit from the point C. Therefore, a phase of the microwave shifts by a multiple of a half-wave length of the microwave, and the microwave is output to the point D. Thereafter, the microwave is resonated in the ring resonator in a second mode orthogonal to the first mode and is output from the point B to the output terminal.

  • Patent number: 5623238
    Abstract: A strip dual mode loop resonator includes a loop-shaped strip line having a pair of straight strip lines arranged in parallel, an electric length of the loop-shaped strip line being equivalent to a wavelength of a microwave circulated in the loop-shaped strip line in two different directions according to a characteristic impedance of the loop-shaped strip line, and the straight strip lines being coupled to each other in electromagnetic coupling to change the characteristic impedance of the loop-shaped strip line. The microwave is transferred from an input strip line to the loop-shaped strip line through electromagnetic field induced by the microwave. Thereafter, the microwave is reflected in the straight strip lines of the loop-shaped strip line to produce reflected microwaves circulated in opposite directions. Thereafter, the reflected waves are resonated and filtered in dual mode in the loop-shaped strip line.
