Abstract: To obtain a downsized dielectric filter suitable for a laminating structure, a dielectric filter is configured with use of a dielectric waveguide formed of a conductor pattern and vias in a laminating direction within a multilayer dielectric substrate, two strip lines formed in a planar direction of the multilayer dielectric substrate, and two strip line-waveguide converters each configured to perform transmission line conversion between the dielectric waveguide and each strip line. In this manner, it is possible to provide a dielectric filter for which an area to be occupied in the planar direction of the multilayer dielectric substrate is suppressed.

Abstract: In a TDMA communication system in which a base station communicates with a plurality of subscriber stations, communication time slots used in a wireless communication are allocated/arranged while avoiding an occurrence of interference. In the case that interference (51) occurs in a communication time slot (411) of a line (71) through which the communication is made from a subscriber station (21) to a base station (1), interference information is registered into an interference time slot database (101) of the base station (1). When the communication time slots are reallocated and rearranged, a TDMA control unit of the base station (1) executes the communication time slot reallocation/rearrangement by referring to information registered in the interference time slot database (101), so that the occurrence of interference is avoided.
