Low-pass and high-pass filters using coaxial-type dielectric resonators

This paper proposes new low-pass and high-pass filters using coaxial-type dielectric resonators. The low-pass filter has a LC-type circuit structure and is composed of three inductances and two resonance circuits. The resonance circuits are the open-ended coaxial-type dielectric resonators whose length is g/4. The high-pass filter has a CL-type circuit structure. Two high-pass filters are described, one of them is composed of three capacitances andtwo resonance circuits, the other is composed of five capacitances and four resonance circuits. The operating frequency range of the low-pass filter is 0.13–0.9 GHz and the cutoffency is 900 MHz, and the insertion loss is 0.3 dB. The corresponding quantities of the high-pass filter are 0.9–2.5 GHz, 900 MHz, and 0.3 dB, respectively.
