ABSTRACT:
In this electromagnetic wave frequency filter, an electromagnetic wave of a predetermined frequency matching a resonant frequency of a resonator41is transmitted from an input waveguide2to an output waveguide3through the resonator41, and is outputted from a drop port P31. This filter has an input-waveguide-side reflector211and an output-waveguide-side reflector311, which reflect the electromagnetic wave of the predetermined frequency. The electromagnetic wave frequency filter satisfies the following relation:in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?Qinb/(1−cos θ1)<<Qv,in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?Qinb/(1−cos θ1)=Qinr/(1−cos θ2),in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?θ1, θ2≠2Nπ(N=0, 1, . . . ),in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?where θ1is a phase shift amount of the electromagnetic wave reflected by the input-waveguide-side reflector211, θ2is a phase shift amount of the electromagnetic wave reflected by the output-waveguide-side reflector311, Qinbis a Q-factor between the resonator41and the input waveguide2, Qinris a Q-factor between the resonator41and the output waveguide31, and Qvis a Q-factor between the resonator41and free space.
