Helical resonator band pass filter with novel coupling means

摘要

In a band pass filter having a plurality of helical resonators each including a quarter-wavelength winding, at least two of the helical resonators are substantially shielded from each other by a partition wall, while the corresponding two quarter-wavelength windings which are shielded from each other are electrically connected to each other through a lead line which is insulated from the shield casing, thereby improving the cut off characteristic of the filter to cut off the applied signal more rapidly in the high frequency region of the band being filtered than in the low frequency region.
