Abstract
Abstract A high frequency miniaturized dielectric resonator is disclosed. The resonator includes an elongated dielectric member axially hollow at least in part of its cross section. A conductor surrounds the dielectric member, and a metal rod is inserted into the hollowed part of the dielectric member and coupled to the conductor. This structure supports resonance in a hybrid mode including the TEM mode and the TE 10g mode (g being a positive number).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
94 words
A dielectric resonator comprising: an elongated dielectric member axially hollow at least in part of its cross section; a conductor surrounding said dielectric member; and a metal rod inserted into the hollow part of said dielectric member and coupled to said conductor, said metal rod having a length shorter than said hollow part, leaving a part of the overall length of said dielectric member without said rod inserted, so that resonance is supported in the TEM mode and the TE 10g mode (g is a positive number) at said part of said overall length.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
94 words
A dielectric resonator comprising: an elongated dielectric member axially hollow at least in part of its cross section; a conductor surrounding said dielectric member; and a metal rod inserted into the hollow part of said dielectric member and coupled to said conductor, said metal rod having a length shorter than said hollow part, leaving a part of the overall length of said dielectric member without said rod inserted, so that resonance is supported in the TEM mode and the TE 10g mode (g is a positive number) at said part of said overall length.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
A dielectric resonator as claimed in claim 1 wherein said conductor consists of a thin layer formed by metalization of the surface of said dielectric member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
A dielectric resonator as claimed in claim 1 wherein said dielectric member is supported at a distance from said conductor.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
A dielectric resonator as claimed in claim 3 wherein said metal rod supports said dielectric member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
32 words
A dielectric resonator as claimed in claim 3 wherein said dielectric member is supported by a low loss, low dielectric constant material filling the space between said dielectric member and said conductor.
