- Filter 100 includes a block 105 which is comprised of a dielectric material that is selectively plated with a conductive material.
- Filter 100 is generally constructed of a suitable dielectric material such as a ceramic material which has low loss, a high dielectric constant, and a low temperature coefficient of the dielectric constant.
- filter 100 is comprised of a ceramic compound including barium oxide, titanium oxide and ziconium oxide, the electrical characteristics of which are similar to those described in more detail in an article by G.H. Jonker and W. Kwestroo, entitled “The Ternery Systems BaO-Ti ⁇ _>2-Zr ⁇ 2", Published in the Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 41, no. 10 at pages 390-394, October, 1958.
- the compound in table VI having the composition 18.5 mole percent BaO, 77.0 mole percent i ⁇ 2 and 4.5 mole percent Zr ⁇ 2 and having a dielectric constant of approximately 40 is well suited for use in the ceramic of the present invention.
- a dielectric filter such as that of block 105 of Filter 100 is generally covered or plated, with the exception of areas 107, with an electrically conductive material such as copper or silver.
- a filter such as block 105 includes a multitude of holes 109 which each extend from the top surface to the bottom surface thereof and are likewise plated with an electrically conductive material. The plating of the holes 109 is electrically common with the conductive plating covering the block 105 at one end of the holes 109 and isolated from the plating covering the block 105 at the opposite end of the holes 109. Further, the plating of holes 109 at the isolated end may extend onto the top surface of block 105.
- each of the plated holes 109 is essentially a foreshortened coaxial resonator comprised of a short coaxial transmission line having a length selected for desired filter response characteristics. (Although the block 105 is shown in Fig. 1 with six plated holes, any number of plated holes may be utilized depending upon the filter response characteristics desired) .
- Conductive plating 204 on dielectric material 202 extends through hole 201 to the top surface with the exception of a circular portion 240 around hole 201.
- Other conductive plating arrangements may also be utilized, two of which are illustrated in Figures 3 and 4.
- conductive plating 304 on dielectric material 302 extends through hole 301 to the bottom surface with the exception of portion 340.
- the plating arrangement in Fig. 3 is substantially identical to that in Fig. 2, the difference being that unplated portion 340 is on the bottom surface instead of on the top surface, in Fig. 4, conductive plating 404 on dielectric material 402 extends partially through hole 401 leaving part of hole 401 unplated.
- the plating arrangement in Fig. 4 can also be reversed as in Fig. 3 so that the unplated portion 440 is on the bottom surface.
- Coupling between the plated hole resonators is accomplished through the dielectric material and may be varied by varying the width of the dielectric material and the distance between adjacent coaxial resonators.
- the width of the dielectric material between adjacent holes 109 can be adjusted in any suitable regular or irregular manner, such as, for example, by the use of slots, cylindrical holes, square or rectangular holes, or irregularly shaped holes.
- RF signals are capacitively coupled to and from the dielectric filter 100 by means of input and output electrodes 111 and 113, respectively, which, in turn, are coupled to input and output connectors 101 and 103, respectively.
- the resonant frequency of the coaxial resonators provided by plated holes 109 is determined primarily by the depth of the hole, thickness of the dielectric block in the direction of the hole, and the amount of plating removed from the top of the filter near the hole.
- Tuning of filter 100 may be accomplished by the removal of, additional ground plating or resonator plating extending upon the top surface of the block 105 near the top of each plated hole.
- the removal of plating for tuning the filter can easily be automated, and can be accomplished by means of a laser, sandblast trimmer, or other suitable trimming devices while monitoring the return loss angle of the filter.
- a dielectric filter employing the present invention is shown in a exploded perspective view.
- a block of dielectric material 501 is placed in a carrying bracket 503 which performs the multiple functions of providing a rigid mounting platform such that dielectric block 501 may be inserted into a printed circuit board or other substrate, providing simplified input and output connections via feed through terminals 505 and 507, and providing positive ground contact between the conductive outer surface of dielectric block 501 and bracket 503 via contacts 509, 510, 511, 512, and other contacts not shown.
- Contacts 509 and 510 additionally provide a dielectric block 501 locating function within the bracket 503.
- Mounting bracket 503 further provides mounting tabs 515-525 to locate and support the bracket and filter on a mounting substrate and provide positive ground contact for radio frequency signals from the mounting bracket 503 to the receiving mounting substrate.
- a mounting bracket for a dielectric filter has been disclosed in U.S. Patent Application No. 656,121, "Single-Block Dual-Passband Ceramic Filter", filed in behalf of Gayrusch on September 27, 1984 and assigned to the assignee of the present invention. This previously disclosed bracket, however, does not provide the simplified mounting of the bracket of the present invention.
- 501 consists of a ceramic material and utilizes seven internally plated holes as foreshortened resonators to produce a band pass filter for operation in radio bands reserved for cellular mobile telephone.
- the conductive plating covering the ceramic block 501 extends conformally on all surfaces except that on which the resonator plating is wrapped from the holes onto the outer surface.
- holes 529-535 have corresponding plating 537-543 metallized on the outer surface of block 501. These areas 537-543 are electrically separate from the ground plating but provide capacitive coupling to the ground plating.
- an input plated area 547 and an output plated area 549 provide capacitive coupling between the input terminal 505 and the coaxial resonator formed from the internally plated hole 529 and its externally plated area 537 while plated area 549 provides capacitive coupling between the output terminal 507 and the output resonator formed from plated hole 535 and external plated area 543.
- Ground stripes 553-558 are plated between the coaxial resonator plated holes in order that inter-resonator coupling is adjusted.
- Ceramic block 501 is inserted into bracket 503 with the externally plated resonator areas 537-543 oriented downward into the bracket 503 such that additional shielding is afforded by the bracket 503.
- Input mounting pin 505 is connected to plated area 547 and output terminal 507 is connected to plated area 549 as shown in Fig. 6.
- the eyelet 601 is conductively bonded to bracket 503 to provide a secure mounting for the input connector 505.
- the center conductor 605 is brought into contact with plated area 547 by the dimensions of the bracket 503 and the.block 501.
- the center conductor 605 is soldered or otherwise conductively bonded at one end to area 547 to provide a reliable RF connection to plated area 547.
- the other end of the center conductor 605 may then be easily soldered or plugged into a substrate which holds the mounting bracket 503.
- a similar construction is employed for output terminal 507 and its associated plated area 549.
- a detail of the mounting bracket 503 is shown in Fig. 7.
- the spacing of the mounting tabs 515-525 is shown in detail for the preferred embodiment. These spacings are important at the frequencies of operation of this filter in order to maintain maximum ultimate attenuation.
- Low ground path inductance in the mounting bracket is realized by placing mounting tabs 517 and 519 close to the input and output ports (505 and 507 of Fig.
- connection between the dielectric block 501 and bracket 503 is assured near the input and output terminals by contacts similar to contacts 511 and 512 located close to the terminals. All contacts, 509, 510, 511, and 512 (and the equivalent contacts on the opposite side of the brackets not shown) , may be soldered or otherwise bonded to the dielectric block 501 such that electrical connection may be permanently assured.
- the position of the tabs 518, 520, and 521 are asymmetrical.
- the input/output terminals 505 and 507 are offset from the centerline of the bracket 503. This asymmetry enables a "keying" of the bracket 503 so that a filter can be inserted in a printed circuit board or other substrate in only one orientation.
- a dielectric filter block such as block 501 is mounted in bracket 503 and becomes a unitized circuit co'mponent which may be inserted into a printed circuit board or substrate 801.
- Appropriate holes 803 and 805 are located on the printed circuit board 801 to accept the input and output terminals 505 and 507 (not shown in Fig.8), respectively.
- appropriately located slots 815-825 are located in the printed circuit board 801 to accept the corresponding tabs of the bracket 503.
- the filter 501 and bracket 503 may be mounted on a circuit board 801 like any other component and circuit runners may extend from the input hole 803 and the output hole 805 such that the filter may be electrically connected to other circuitry with a minimum of effort.
- the circuit board runners, 807 and 809 may be constructed as stripline or microstrip transmission lines to yield improved duplexer performance.
- FIG. 9 there is illustrated an equivalent circuit diagram for the dielectric filter 501 utilized as a band pass filter.
- An input signal from a signal source may be applied via terminal 505 to input electrode 547 in Fig. 5, which corresponds to the common junction of capacitors 924 and 944 in Fig. 9.
- Capacitor 944 is the capacitance between electrode 547 and the surrounding ground plating
- capacitor 924 is the capacitance between electrode 547 and the coaxial resonator provided by plated hole 529 in Fig. 5.
- the coaxial resonators provided by plated 529-535 in Fig. 5 correspond to shorted transmission lines 929-935 in Fig. 9.
- Capacitor 925 represents the capacitance between the resonator provided by plated hole 535 and electrode 549 in Fig. 5
- capacitor 945 represents the capacitance between electrode 549 and the surrounding ground plating.
- An output signal is provided at the junction of capacitors 925 and 945, and coupled to output terminal 547 for utilization by external circuitry.
- a multi-band filter comprised of two intercoupled dielectric band pass filters 1004 and 1012 and employing the present invention.
- Two or more of the inventive band pass filters may be intercoupled on a printed circuit board or substrate to provide apparatus that combines and/or frequency sorts two RF signals into and/or from a composite RF signal.
- the present invention is employed in the arrangement of Fig. 10 which couples a transmit signal from an RF transmitter 1002 to an antenna 1008 and a receive signal from antenna 1008 to an RF receiver 1014.
- the arrangement in Fig. 10 can be advantageously utilized in mobile, portable, and fixed station radios as an antenna duplexer.
- the transmit signal from RF transmitter 1002 is coupled to filter 1004 by a transmission line 1005, realized by the plated runner 807 of Fig. 8 on the printed circuit board in the preferred embodiment, and the filtered transmit signal is coupled via circuit board runner transmission line 1006 (runner 809 of Fig. 8) to antenna 1008.
- Filter 1004 is a ceramic band pass filter of the present invention, such as the filter illustrated in Figs. 5 and 8.
- the pass band of filter 1004 is centered about the frequency of the transmit signal from RF transmitter 1002, while at the same time greatly attenuating the frequency of the received signal.
- the length of transmission line 1006 is selected to maximize its impedance at the frequency of the received signal.
- a received signal from antenna 1008 in Fig. 10 is coupled by transmission line 1010, also realized as a printed circuit board runner, to filter 1012 and thence via circuit board runner transmission line 1013 to RF receiver 1014.
- Filter 1012 which also may be one of the inventive band pass filters illustrated in Figs. 5 and 8, has a pass band centered about the frequency of the receive signal, while at the same time greatly attenuating the transmit signal.
- the length of transmission line 1010 is selected to maximize its impedance at the transmit signal frequency for further attenuating the transmit signal.
- the dielectric band pass filters 1004 and 1012 utilize a dielectric of ceramic and are constructed in accordance with the present invention as shown in Fig. 5.
- the filters 1004 and 1012 each have a length of 3.0 inch and a width of 0.45 inch.
- the height is a primary determinant of the frequency of operation and, in the preferred embodiment, is .49 inch in the transmit filter 1004 and 0.44 inch in the receive filter 1012.
- Filter 1004 has an insertion loss of 2.5 dB and attenuate receive signals by at least 50 dB.
- Filter 1012 has an insertion loss of 3.0 dB and attenuates receive signals by at least 60 dB.
- An alternative interconnection of the circuit board monostable dielectric block filters is shown in Fig. 11.
- the separate transmit and receive filters 1004 and 1012 may be coupled by 180° reflection coefficient transmission lines 1107 and 1109 in a fashion to provide a diversity receive function.
- Th filter operational characteristics may be determined by the metallization pattern employed on the surface of the dielectric block which is not fully metallized. Dielectric filters such as described herein are instrinsically coupled by inductance.
- a controlled capacitive coupling may be achieved by providing incomplete strip electrodes running on the surface of the dielectric block between two resonators.
- incomplete strip electrodes 553 and 558, between input resonator and output resonator and the other resonators, provide a controlled capacitive coupling to enable combined inductive and capacitive coupling between adjacent resonators.
- the use of inductive or capacitive coupling provides steeper filter attenuation skirts on either the high side of the filter passband or the low side of the filter passband, respectively.
- the dielectric filter blocks are combined as a duplexer filter as shown diagrammatically in Fig. 10, it is advantageous to employ a filter having a step attenuation skirt above the passband as the filter passing the lower frequencies. Also it is advantageous to employ a filter having a steep attenuation skirt below the passband as the filter passing the higher frequencies. In this way, additional protection of transmit and receive paths from each other can be realized without additional filter resonator elements.
- An advantage of the dielectric filter blocks of the present invention is that the number and spacing of resonators used in the transmitter filter 1004 (of Fig. 10) may be equal to the number and spacing of the resonators in the receive filter 1012.
- the type of coupling is determined by the metalization pattern employed.
- the transmit filter 1004 utilizes inductive coupling between resonators as illustrated in the metalization pattern of Fig. 12A.
- the capacitive coupling between the middle resonators is reduced by the complete strip electrodes while the input and output resonators utilize more capacitance in the incomplete strip electrodes in their coupling to the middle resonators.
- the receive filter 1012 utilizes capacitive coupling between resonators as illustrated in the metalization pattern of Fig. 12B. Capacitive coupling is enabled by the unblocked metalized resonators. (Capacitive coupling may be enhanced by metalization islands such as shown in Fig. 12C) .
- a novel feature of the present invention creates the ability of the coupling to be changed by changing the metalization. Additionally, the mode of resonator operation may be changed from band pass to band stop by utilizing one or more resonators as a transmission zero rather than as a transmission pole. Transmission zero realization by metalization change only is shown in Fig. 12D.
- the output electrode 1203 is coupled to the first transmission pole resonator 1205 by metalization runner 1207. Coupling is also realized from output electrode 1203 to transmission zero resonator 1209. In the embodiment shown, the transmission zero is tuned to the low side of the passband to realize additional rejection on the low side of the passband.
- a filter utilizing metalization such as that shown in Fig. 12D would be suitable for use in a duplexer such as described above.
- a printed circuit board mountable, multiple resonator dielectric filter has been shown and described.
- This filter utilizes metalized hole resonators having coupling characteristics determined by the metalization pattern on one surface of the dielectric block.
- the dielectric block is metalized with a conductive material on all but one surface from which the hole resonators extend into the dielectric block. Electrode metalization around the holes provides capacitive coupling to this conductive material and from one resonator to an adjacent resonator.
- Capacitive coupling between the resonators is controlled by an electrode at least partially between two adjacent hole resonators to adjust the capacitive coupling between the resonators.
- Input and output coupling is accomplished via terminals asymmetrically arranged in a mounting bracket. Mounting tabs on the bracket opposite a recessed area holding the dielectric block secure the filter to the circuit board and provide ground connection for the filter.
- Use of two filters on a printed circuit board with copper runners forming transmission lines of appropriate electrical length creates a duplexer for transceiver applications. Therefore, while a particular embodiment of the invention has been described and shown, it should be understood that the invention is not limited thereto since many modifications may be made by those skilled in the art. It is therefore contemplated to cover any and all such modifications that fall within the true spirit and scope • of the basic underlying principles disclosed and claimed herein.
