| 20090206957 | RESONANT ELEMENT AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A resonant element is manufactured through a process including a setting step and a forming step. A substrate of the resonant element is made of a dielectric material. A ground electrode is formed on a rear principal surface side of the substrate. Principal-surface electrodes that define resonators together with the ground electrode and the dielectric material are formed on a front principal surface side of the substrate. An electrode protecting layer is formed on substantially entire surfaces on a front principal surface side of the principal-surface electrodes and the substrate. A coupling adjusting electrode with both ends facing a plurality of the principal-surface electrodes is formed on a front principal surface side of the electrode protecting layer. In the setting step, the shape of the coupling adjusting electrode is set in each manufactured lot. In the forming step, the coupling adjusting electrode having the shape set in the setting step in each manufactured lot is formed on the front principal surface side of the substrate and the electrode protecting layer that are sintered in advance, and the coupling adjusting electrode is baked to the electrode protecting layer. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090273417 | Microstripline Filter - A microstripline filter capable of strengthening capacitive coupling between resonators and suppressing fineness of electrodes is provided. The microstripline filter includes principal-surface lines, a ground electrode, and input/output electrodes. A first principal-surface line is capacitively coupled to a second principal-surface line. The second principal-surface line is inductively coupled to a third principal-surface line. The third principal-surface line is capacitively coupled to a fourth principal-surface line. The first through fourth principal-surface lines include open-end-side electrodes, short-circuit-end-side electrodes, and end-opened electrodes. A first pair of the end-opened electrodes are adjacent to each other, whereas a first pair of the short-circuit-end-side electrodes are separate from each other. A second pair of end-opened electrodes are adjacent to each other, whereas a second pair of short-circuit-end-side electrodes are separate from each other. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20090302975 | MICROSTRIPLINE FILTER AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A microstripline filter in which characteristics of a plurality of resonators which are connected to one another in a manner of inductive coupling are precisely set. The microstripline filter includes a ground electrode, main-surface lines, common electrodes, short-circuit electrodes, and input/output electrodes. The ground electrode is arranged on a lower surface of a dielectric substrate having a rectangular plate shape. The plurality of main-surface lines are arranged on an upper surface of the dielectric substrate and form respective resonators. The common electrodes connect some of the main-surface lines to one another in conduction states. The plurality of short-circuit electrodes connect a group of the main-surface lines which are brought to conduction states by the common electrodes to the ground electrode through an identical side surface of the dielectric substrate. The input-and-output electrodes are connected to corresponding ones of the resonators including the main-surface lines. | 12-10-2009 |
