Abstract: A cavity resonator having a coupling iris (3) has an auxiliary iris (5) which divides the resonator (1) into a coupling space (8) and a resonator space (9). Thus, the auxiliary iris (5) alters the length effective for the resonant frequency of the resonator (1). Disturbances, particularly temperature-induced deformations of the coupling iris (3), may thereby be effectively compensated.

Abstract: A waveguide filter having a stepped transformer area on the input and/or output sides, with at least one band-stop filter composed of geometrically closely spaced stop elements integrated into this stepped transformer area. These features make it possible to build waveguide filters with a high edge steepness and a short overall length.

Abstract: A waveguide junction circulator for a high power application at a high operating frequency. The circulator includes a plurality of connecting waveguides, each of which has a standard height dimension corresponding to the operating frequency; a resonance cavity; a plurality of spaced and cooled, superposed metal plates covered with ferrite discs disposed in the cavity; a magnet disposed outside the cavity for generating a magnetic field oriented perpendicular to the ferrite discs and penetrating the cavity; and a plurality of junction arms each having one end communicating with the cavity and another end forming a connection with a respective one of the plurality of connecting waveguides. The circulator has a height dimension in its region penetrated by the magnetic field that is reduced by at least 20% compared to the standard height dimension of the connecting waveguides.

Abstract: A microwave circulator comprising a substrate having a resonator affixed to one side thereof and a ferrite element affixed to the other. The side of the substrate to which the ferrite element is secured is covered with metal on the surface surrounding the ferrite element and is electrically and mechanically coupled to a metallized coating on the periphery of the ferrite element. The surface of the ferrite element projecting from the substrate is also metallized.
