Abstract

Herein disclosed is a band-pass filter for a radio wave having a wavelength range of a high frequency, such as a microwave and a milliwave. The band-pass filter comprises: a dielectric substrate; input and output terminals; and a plurality of conductive strip line resonators being capable of resonating with a predetermined wavelength. Each of the strip line resonators has two ends and bent line extending from one end to the other end with a predetermined length corresponding to the wavelength. The one end and the other end are placed face to face with each other to provide a gap therebetween. In the band-pass filter, the plurality as arranged on the dielectric substrate in series and spaced apart from each other at predetermined intervals along a predetermined position line and coupled with each other through the inductive and capacitive coupling to transfer the signal between the resonators one after another. Each of the adjoining resonators has a predetermined intensity of the coupling between them in accordance with a relationship between the positions of the gaps of the adjoining resonators. As a result, the band-pass filter can be miniaturized as regulating a desired intensity of coupling between resonators.
