Abstract: A dielectric resonator includes a slot line constructed by providing a slot electrode having a spiral slot at either an external face of a dielectric layer or inside the dielectric layer and a shielding conductor provided at a predetermined distance from the slot electrode. The slot line is employed as a resonant line so as to provide a dielectric resonator, an inductor, a capacitor, a dielectric filter, an oscillator, and/or a communication device.

Abstract: Electrodes are formed on both top and bottom surfaces of a dielectric plate and grounded coplanar lines, as transmission lines, are formed on the top surface of the dielectric plate. A plurality of micro-strip lines, each composed of high-impedance lines and low-impedance lines alternately connected in series, is arranged at a pitch shorter than the wavelength of a wave traveling along the grounded coplanar lines. A spurious mode propagation blocking circuit thus constructed prevents a spurious mode wave, such as a parallel-plate mode, from traveling.

Abstract: Electrodes are formed on the upper and under faces of a dielectric plate. For example, plural fundamental patterns having four ports and a quadrangular shape are arranged thereon. A strip conductor of a two-port circuit is determined so that adjacent two-port circuits of the respective fundamental patterns have a band-stop filter characteristic.

Abstract: A resonator can provide good loss characteristics by effectively suppressing power losses due to an edge effect. In addition, a filter, a duplexer, and a communication device incorporating the resonator are formed. In the resonator, a plurality of spiral lines are disposed on a surface of a dielectric substrate in such a manner that the inner and outer ends of the lines are aligned respectively along an inner periphery and an outer periphery which are centered around a central point on the substrate so that the lines do not cross each other. With this arrangement, the edge effect in the spiral lines is substantially canceled, by which power losses due to the edge effect can be effectively suppressed.
