Embodiment Construction
[0055] will now refer to Figure 1a and 1b describe examples of multimode filters.
[0056] The basis of the invention is to couple signals into and out of a multimode resonator using a specific type of coupling hole arrangement in which two or more modes are simultaneously excited (or energy is coupled from) ).
[0057] In this example, filter 100 includes a resonator body 110 encapsulated in metallization layers (not shown for clarity). At least two hole arrangements are formed in the metallization layer: an input coupling hole 120 and an output coupling hole 130 . These holes are formed by the absence of metallization, with the remainder of the resonator body essentially encapsulated in its metallization layers. Apertures 120 and 130 may be formed by, for example, chemically or mechanically etching metallization surrounding resonator body 110 to remove the metallization and thereby form one or more apertures. The hole or holes may also be formed by other means, such as c...
