  • Patent number: 10033075
    Abstract: [Problem] To provide a cross coupled band-pass filter that reduces a loss of a signal due to a dielectric loss and enables a resonance frequency to be easily changed. [Solution] A cross coupled band-pass filter of the present invention includes an input waveguide, an output waveguide, and three or more stages of resonators that connect the waveguides together, in which the three or more stages of resonators is formed using a filter element, one or multiple pairs of resonators of the three or more stages of resonators adjoin via a shared tube wall and include an opening in the shared tube wall, an antenna that connects the one or multiple pairs of resonators together in the opening, and one or more stages of unconnected resonators between the one or multiple pairs of resonators in a waveguide path of electromagnetic waves.

  • Patent number: 9831539
    Abstract: A coaxial waveguide conversion device according to the present invention includes a first member; a second member provided so as to be opposed to the first member; and a conductor plate provided so as to be sandwiched between the first member and the second member. A waveguide is formed in the first member and the second member to a depth that penetrates the first member and does not penetrate the second member. The conductor plate includes an opening having a shape corresponding to a shape of an aperture plane of the waveguide; a conductor surface portion provided around the opening; an antenna portion; a waveguide short-circuit portion connecting the antenna portion with the conductor surface portion; a coaxial wiring portion provided at one end of the antenna portion; and a coaxial line short-circuit portion connecting another end of the antenna portion with the conductor surface portion.

  • Patent number: 9793590
    Abstract: The first member and the second member include, when a line that connects a first port and a second port is denoted by a reference line, a first groove that has a central point on the reference line and extends in a direction that intersects with the reference line; a second groove that connects one end of the first groove and the first port; a third groove that connects the other end of the first groove and the first port and has a shape that is line symmetrical to the second groove with respect to the reference line; a fourth groove that connects the other end (FN2) of the first groove and the second port; and a fifth groove that connects one end (FN1) of the first groove and the second port and has a shape that is line symmetrical to the fourth groove with respect to the reference line.

  • Patent number: 9786974
    Abstract: The present invention comprises: a conductive chassis having a cavity resonator; a conductive cover to cover the cavity resonator; a resonant element arranged in the cavity resonator, one end of the resonant element being connected with the chassis and the other end being open end; and a movable conductor arranged in a space between the open end of the resonant element and the conductive cover. As a result, a tunable band-pass filter which is inexpensive and of a simple structure and which can change a resonance frequency of a cavity resonator and the coupling amount between cavity resonators easily is realized.
