Dielectric filter, dielectric duplexer, and communication device

摘要

A dielectric filter which has suitable attenuation characteristics and which readily exhibits desired characteristics. First, second and third inner-conductor holes having an inner conductor on each of the surfaces thereof are formed inside a dielectric block having an outer conductor on the outer surface thereof. First and second I/O electrodes extend from opposing side-surfaces to the undersurface of the dielectric block and are separated from the outer conductor. The side-surfaces are orthogonal to the direction in which the inner-conductor holes are arrayed in the dielectric block, and the undersurface is a mounting surface for facing a mounting board. The first I/O electrode extends from one of said side-surfaces near the first inner-conductor hole, to a position beyond a remote side of the second inner-conductor hole, that is, the side near the third inner-conductor hole.
