Patent number: 5311159Abstract: A tri-plate line is constructed from a resonance element formed by intervening dielectrics between one pair of ground conductors (6). The length of the line is adjusted to about 1/4 wave-length. Then, a bandpass filter is formed by combining a plurality of resonators (5) of which one end is grounded. Each of the resonators (5) is separated by separators (9) so that waveguide mode propagation in the tri-plate line is prevented from occurring. A plurality of the tri-plate lines are piled up. The electromagnetic coupling of the resonators in different layers with each other are conducted by means of coupling means (7) formed in the dielectric and the ground conductor. The resonators disposed at both ends are coupled with input/output terminals (1,2), respectively.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 1993Date of Patent: May 10, 1994Assignee: TDK CorporationInventors: Taro Miura, Tadao Fujii, Shinya Nakai
