MINIATURE DUAL MODE PLANAR FILTERS

摘要

A dual mode microstrip resonator (1) usable in the design of microwave communication filters. The substantially square resonator (1) provides paths for a pair of orthogonal signals which are coupled together using a perturbation located in at least one corner of the resonator (1). The perturbation can be introduced by notching (3) the resonator (1) or by adding a metallic or dielectric a stub (83) to the resonator (1).
