Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein monolithisches Filter, insbesondere Mikrowellenfilter, das aus einem Keramikkörper besteht, in dem Durchbohrungen angeordnet sind, die von einer Seite zur gegenüberliegenden Seite führen, bei dem die Oberfläche des Keramikkörpers mit Ausnahme einer Seite eine Metallisierung besitzt, der von der Metallisierung isolierte Anschlußflächen zum kapazitiven Ein-/Auskoppeln von HF-Signalen aufweist, und bei dem zwischen den Anschlußflächen ein Masseanschluß angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a monolithic filter, in particular Microwave filter, which consists of a ceramic body, in the holes are arranged from one side to the opposite side, where the surface of the Ceramic body with the exception of one side a metallization possesses, the connection surfaces insulated from the metallization for capacitive coupling / decoupling of RF signals, and in which a ground connection is arranged between the connection surfaces is.

Ein derartiges Filter ist aus der US 5,162,760 bekannt.Such a filter is known from US 5,162,760.

Der zwischen den Anschlußflächen angeordnete Masseanschluß dient dazu, ein Übersprechen zu reduzieren oder zu vermeiden. Bei dem bekannten Filter ist dieser Masseanschluß mit der Außenmetallisierung galvanisch verbunden. Es besteht nun die Gefahr, daß bei einer Lötung Lötmetall über das Bauelement verrinnt, was sich bestenfalls nur mit Hilfe von aufwendig aufzubringendem Lötstopplack vermeiden ließe.The ground connection located between the pads is used to reduce or avoid crosstalk. In the known filter, this ground connection is with the outer metallization galvanically connected. There is now the Risk of solder over the component during soldering trickles away, which can only be done with the help of complex prevent solder mask to be applied.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ein Filter der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, bei dem diese Schwierigkeiten beim Löten nicht auftreten können.The object of the present invention is to provide a filter Specify the type mentioned, in which these difficulties cannot occur during soldering.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Masseanschluß von der Metallisierung getrennt ist.This object is achieved in that the Ground connection is separated from the metallization.

Durch diese Ausgestaltung wird der Vorteil erzielt, daß die Lotmenge des zwischen den HF-Anschlüssen angeordneten Masseanschlusses nicht verrinnen kann.This configuration has the advantage that the Quantity of solder of the ground connection arranged between the HF connections can't run away.

Der Gegenstand der Erfindung wird anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert. The object of the invention is based on an embodiment explained in more detail.

In der dazugehörenden Zeichnung mit einer einzigen Figur ist ein Mikrowellenkeramikfilter 1 dargestellt, das aus einem Keramikkörper 2 besteht, in dem Durchbohrungen 3, 4 angeordnet sind, die von einer Seite 5 zur gegenüberliegenden Seite 6 führen.In the accompanying drawing with a single figure a microwave ceramic filter 1 shown, which consists of a ceramic body 2 exists, arranged in the through holes 3, 4 are from one side 5 to the opposite side 6 to lead.

Alle Außenflächen des Keramikkörpers 2 mit Ausnahme der Fläche 6 sind mit einer Metallisierung 7 versehen. Die Innenseite der Durchbohrungen 3, 4 ist ebenfalls mit einer Metallisierung versehen, so daß koaxiale Resonatoren gebildet werden.All outer surfaces of the ceramic body 2 with the exception of the surface 6 are provided with a metallization 7. The inside the holes 3, 4 is also with a metallization provided so that coaxial resonators are formed.

Auf der in der Figur als Oberseite dargestellten Fläche sind über den Durchbohrungen 3, 4 von der übrigen Metallisierung 7 isolierte Anschlußflächen 8, 9 angeordnet, die zur kapazitiven Ein- bzw. Auskoppelung von HF-Signales dienen. Zwischen den Anschlußflächen 8, 9 befindet sich ein Masseanschluß 10, der gemäß der Erfindung ebenfalls von der übrigen Metallisierung 7 getrennt ist.On the surface shown in the figure as the top are over the through holes 3, 4 from the rest of the metallization 7 insulated pads 8, 9 arranged for capacitive Serve in or out of RF signals. Between the connection surfaces 8, 9 there is a ground connection 10, that according to the invention also from the rest of the metallization 7 is separated.

Die Herstellung der Anschlußflächen 8, 9, 10 geschieht dadurch, daß diese von der ursprünglich durchgehenden Metallisierung 7 ätztechnisch bzw. mechanisch durch Schleifen von der Umgebungsmetallisierung getrennt werden. Da die Isolierung des Masseanschlusses 10 gleichzeitig mit der Herstellung der HF-Anschlußflächen 8, 9 erfolgt, entsteht kein Mehraufwand.The connection surfaces 8, 9, 10 are produced by that this from the originally continuous metallization 7 etching or mechanical by grinding the surrounding metallization. Because the insulation of the ground connection 10 simultaneously with the manufacture the HF pads 8, 9 takes place, there is no additional effort.
