Abstract: | High-Q dielectric resonators having remarkable advantages such as compactness, light weight, temperature stability, and low cost have become very valuable elements for various microwave circuits. A modified Itoh and Rudokas model is proposed to analyse the field distribution and the coupling relations between dielectric resonators and microstrip lines based on the analysis results, a convenient procedure for designing microwave filters containing parallel coupled dielectric resonators is presented. Two experimental dielectric resonator filters are also fabricated to verify the calculation and the design procedure. The outcome demonstrates that the procedure provides good accuracy and saves design time. |
