ABSTRACT:
A filter operable in a microwave frequency band comprises a conductive closed housing having a bottom wall, an upper wall and side walls between said bottom wall and the upper wall, a plurality of resonators fixed on a straight line on the bottom wall inside of the housing, one end of each resonator being grounded to the bottom wall and the other end of each resonator being free standing, each resonator having at least an elongated center conductor and a dielectric body covering the center conductor at least partially in the longitudinal direction of the center conductor, a pair of connectors mounted at the opposite ends at the side walls for coupling the filter with an external circuit, a pair of loops each connected to the inner conductor of said connector and one end of the loops being grounded to the bottom wall, a pair of confronting conductive disks being provided between the free standing end of each center conductor of a resonator and the upper wall to provide the capacitance between said free standing end and the upper wall, the position of each resonator being slightly adjustable along said straight line within an elongated hole provided on the bottom wall, and the length L of the dielectric body covering the center conductor satisfying L.ltoreq..lambda..sub.o /5.sqroot..epsilon..sub.e where .lambda..sub.o being the wavelength in the free space of the center frequency of the filter and .epsilon..sub.e is the effective dielectric constant of the dielectric body.
