ABLATIVE METHOD FOR FORMING RF CERAMIC BLOCK FILTERS

摘要

A method of forming metallization patterns on a block of dielectric material wherein the entire surface area of the dielectric block is encased with a conductive material and unwanted conductive metal is ablatively etched from a designated surface area of the dielectric block to form desired metallized circuit patterns. The invention also comprises a filter and a duplexer formed by the method of the present invention.
