Dielectric variable-frequency filter having a variable capacitance connected to a resonator

摘要

A dielectric resonator 5 is electrically connected to an input terminal 1 through a coupling capacitor C1. A dielectric resonator 6 is electrically connected to an output terminal 2 through a coupling capacitor C3. The dielectric resonators 5 and 6 are electrically connected to each other through a coupling capacitor C2. A voltage control terminal 3 is electrically connected to the cathode of a variable-capacitance diode D1 and to one end of the coupling capacitor C1 through a choke coil L1. The anode of the variable-capacitance diode D1 is electrically connected to the dielectric resonator 6. That is, the variable-capacitance diode D1 comprises a path interconnecting at least two of said dielectric resonators in a filter 15.
