Patent number: 11757164Abstract: An in-line resonator filter has a linear array of three or more conductors. A first pair of adjacent conductors has inductive main coupling and oppositely signed capacitive main coupling, while a second pair of non-adjacent conductors has inductive cross-coupling. The first and second pairs have one conductor in common. Between the second pair of non-adjacent conductors, there is no direct ohmic connection that provides the corresponding inductive cross-coupling. The oppositely signed capacitive main coupling compensates for at least a portion of the inductive main coupling between the first pair of adjacent conductors. The in-line resonator filter is able to provide one or more transmission zeros without requiring any discrete bypass connectors that provide direct ohmic connection between pairs of non-adjacent conductors. As such, the in-line resonator filters can be smaller, less complex, and less susceptible to damage.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2021Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: CommScope Italy S.r.l.Inventors: Stefano Tamiazzo, Giuseppe Resnati

Patent number: 9755292Abstract: The invention is a compact three-port signal combiner suitable for use in a base station having two different wireless systems. The combiner is designed as a four-port network, but one of the ports is terminated with a predetermined load, thus leaving three ports for connection to user equipment. A first port (A) receives from an antenna a first input signal comprising first and second receive bands and transmits to the antenna a first output signal comprising a transmit band. A second port (R), connected to the first wireless system, outputs to the first wireless system a second output signal comprising the first and second receive bands. A third port (T\R) outputs, to the second wireless system, a third output signal comprising the first and second receive bands and receives from the second wireless system a second input signal that is to be transmitted from the first port.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2015Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: CommScope Italy, S.r.l.Inventor: Stefano Tamiazzo

Patent number: 9515362Abstract: A bandpass filter has a combline structure having a plurality of cascaded nodes. A plurality of nodes in the filter are connected both to resonant elements (a.k.a. resonators) and non-resonant elements (including elements having inductances and/or capacitances that do not resonate in a predetermined frequency band of interest). The resonant frequencies of the resonant elements may be adjusted, in order to adjust the location of the center frequency and/or the width of the passband of the filter. The characteristics of the resonant and non-resonant elements are selected such that the poles of the filter, when plotted on the complex plane, move substantially along the imaginary axis when the resonant frequencies are adjusted, without substantial movement along the real axis. The resulting bandpass filter has substantially constant losses and substantially constant absolute selectivity over a relatively wide range of bandwidths.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2013Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: CommScope Technologies LLCInventors: Stefano Tamiazzo, Giuseppe Resnati
