1. A resonator filter comprising a rectangular waveguide (1-3) and n dielectric resonators (R1-R6) disposed inside the waveguide (with n being not less than 4), in which negative coupling is provided between two of the n resonators (R2, R5), the waveguide operating below its cutoff frequency, the filter being characterized in that the waveguide is folded back on itself with a wall (2) that is common between its two folded portions, the two negatively coupled resonators being situated on either side of the common wall, the dimensions of the cross-section of the waveguide being about 2 to 2.5 times the transverse dimensions of the resonators, and in that the filter includes a coupling rod (20) for providing the negative coupling, said rod passing through the common wall via a hole and being electrically separate from the common wall, at least apart from its ends. |
