Description

Dielectric filter
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of dielectric filter that is used for mobile phone for example or is used for the high-frequency circuit of wireless communication terminal.
Background technology
Recently, dielectric filter is used for for example mobile phone and wireless communication terminal.This filter only allows the interior signal of the required frequency band of system pass through, and makes the signal attenuation outside the required frequency band of system.
Stripline resonator is used in the aforesaid high-frequency dielectric fluid filter.Adjust frequency by the length that changes resonator.
Along with for example variation of mobile phone of recent wireless communication system, be starved of and make the dielectric filter miniaturization.When making the compact outline of communication system, also need to make the resonator miniaturization.Therefore, the width of resonance electrode changes from the intermediate portion, and/or use the internal layer grounding electrode, to be used for changing step by step the impedance of resonator.Like this, can reduce to an equivalence value that makes compact outline to resonance frequency.
In general, in resonator, also resonance can take place under the resonance frequency of integral multiple.Therefore, can not in being higher than the frequency band of resonance frequency, signal sufficiently be decayed sometimes.
For example, an end of transmission line in the resonator of 1/4 wavelength of other end open circuit, is observed resonance at the frequency place of resonance frequency odd-multiple by short circuit therein.
Dielectric filter comprises resonator, and this resonator so that the signal in the required frequency band is passed through, and makes the interior signal attenuation of frequency band outside the required frequency band at the required frequency place resonance that signal is passed through.But, as mentioned above, resonance is also equaling 3 times or 5 times frequency place generation of required frequency.Therefore, the attenuation characteristic in above-mentioned frequency band becomes bad.
By as seen above-mentioned, well-known, relative by for example making the internal layer grounding electrode with the open end part of resonance electrode, insert dielectric layer therebetween at this resonance electrode, make the mid portion step-down of characteristic impedance from resonance electrode.Therefore, the resonance that occurs in the odd multiple number of frequency place of resonance frequency can be moved to higher frequency band, thereby can improve parasitic character.
Supposition now forms dielectric substrate by stacked a plurality of dielectric layers, and resonator is configured to along the stacked direction of the dielectric layer in the dielectric substrate.Form the internal layer grounding electrode, to be used for partly changing the impedance of resonance electrode from the centre.
At first, (1) increases the impedance ratio of each resonance electrode.Specifically, impedance is lowered at open end, and/or impedance is raised at short-circuit end.Secondly, (2) equate the electrical length of the short-circuit end with high impedance and the electrical length with low-impedance open end.
Can make the frequency shifts that equals 3 times of resonance frequencys arrive higher frequency band by method (1) and (2).
Impedance for the open end that reduces resonance electrode can utilize two methods, and promptly (1) increases the electrode width of open end, and (2) reduce the thickness between resonance electrode and internal layer grounding electrode.Yet in each case, the scope of change all is restricted.
In order to increase the impedance of short-circuit end, reduce the width of the short-circuit end of resonance electrode.Yet this makes characteristic become bad (reduction of Q value).Therefore, this method can not adopt.
Has the method that another kind is used to improve parasitic character.The electrical length of the short-circuit end with high impedance is equated with the electrical length with low-impedance open end.But, need this internal layer grounding electrode of lengthening.Yet in this case, the resonance frequency of (1) internal layer grounding electrode itself is lowered.Therefore, the peak value that is produced by the resonance of internal layer grounding electrode is moved on such frequency band, and the frequency in this frequency band equals the twice of frequency of filter passbands or three times.As a result, the decay quantitative change is bad in parasitic frequency band.In addition, (2) Q value is lowered, thereby the insertion of filter loss becomes bad.In addition, the input and output electrode is set (3) and the area minimizing of electrode is adjusted in coupling, thereby can not obtain required filter characteristic.
Summary of the invention
The present invention considers the problems referred to above and makes, thereby the objective of the invention is to, and a kind of dielectric filter is provided, and it can shorten the electrical length of short-circuit end and not change the length of resonance electrode, thereby it can improve the attenuation characteristic in the parasitic frequency band.

In the present invention, when dielectric substrate comprised the dielectric layer with high-k, at least one dielectric layer that is inserted in the described dielectric layer between a plurality of internal layer grounding electrodes comprised the dielectric layer with low-k.Therefore, only be lowered at the effective dielectric constant of short-circuit end.As a result, though be constant, be increased in the impedance of short-circuit end, and electrical length is shortened at the impedance and the electrical length of open end.Thereby the parasitic character of dielectric layer is improved.
In resonance electrode, at the dielectric constant of short-circuit end with high impedance less than dielectric constant with low-impedance open end.Therefore, the electrical length of short-circuit end can only be shortened, and the length of resonance electrode can not be changed.Thereby the resonance of the higher-order of resonance electrode is moved to higher frequency band, thereby can improve parasitic character.
