Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a filter and a communication device. Background Art

[0002] A filter is a frequency filtering device that selects signals in the required frequency band and suppresses signals in the unnecessary frequency band. Filters are widely used in RF, microwave and other communication fields. Currently, the most widely used filter in RF and microwave bands is the coaxial cavity filter, which forms the desired working characteristics by adjusting the resonant frequency of the resonator and the coupling strength between the resonators. In actual application, as the spectrum isolation segments of different system networks become narrower and narrower, higher requirements are placed on the filtering accuracy of the filter.

[0003] With the development of communication technology, filters are widely used. In metal filters, to achieve negative zero point, flying rods and flying rod seats are usually used, that is, the flying rod is fixed between the two resonant cavities through the flying rod seat, and capacitive coupling is formed through the gap between the flying rod and the resonant rod, so as to achieve negative zero point. However, due to the influence of the length of the flying rod itself, secondary harmonics will be generated at high frequencies. Generally, low-pass filters are added to suppress the clutter. However, with the rapid development of 5GHz and other communications, the communication frequency is getting higher and higher. If the high-frequency filter adopts the flying rod structure, clutter will be generated at the near end of the channel, and low-pass filtering can no longer suppress the clutter, thereby interfering with the communication signal in the channel.
