Description
- The present invention relates to a coaxial resonator which comprises: a coaxial resonator main body including a cylindrical dielectric member, an electrode layer continuously formed over an inner peripheral surface, an outer peripheral surface and one end face of said dielectric member.
- Such a coaxial resonator is known from DE-C-816 428 for use in a resonant circuit to be applied to UHF technics. This known coaxial resonator is compact in size and especially adapted to be used for very short waves and consists of a main body including a cylindrical dielectric member and an electrode layer which is continuously formed over an inner peripheral surface, an outer peripheral surface and one end face of the cylindrical dielectric member.
- With respect to coaxial resonators to be used for electrical and electronic equipment which operate, for example, in UHF ranges, it has been a recent trend that a 1/4 wavelength coaxial resonator (referred to as a A/4 coaxial resonator hereinbelow) compact in size and composed of a dielectric member having a high unloaded Q begins to be adopted. However, by the coaxial resonator as described above alone, its resonance frequency can not be readily altered, thus requiring much time for the adjustments thereof. Accordingly, it is so arranged in some cases, that a trimmer capacitor or the like is added to the coaxial resonator for making it possible to readily alter the resonance frequency, but in this case, there have been such disadvantages that the size of the coaxial resonator tends to be increased, while the high unloaded Q which is an essential feature of the λI4 coaxial resonator employing the dielectric member is undesirably lowered.
- In Fig. 1 there is shown one example of the conventional arrangements as referred to above, in which a
coaxial resonator 2 constituted by the cylindrical dielectric member, and having electrode layers formed on inner and outer peripheral surfaces and also on one end face of the dielectric member by a metallizing process or the like, is mounted on a printedcircuit board 1, while atrimmer capacitor 3 is disposed in the vicinity of thecoaxial resonator 2, with aground terminal 4 of thetrimmer capacitor 3 being connected to the electrode formed on the inner peripheral surface of thecoaxial resonator 2. - The known arrangement as described above, however, still has drawbacks in that, since the
ground terminal 4 of thetrimmer capacitor 3 is prolonged to be connected to the electrode on the inner peripheral surface of thecoaxial resonator 2, an electrical loss tends to be produced depending on the length of theground terminal 4, thus resulting in deterioration of unloaded Q, while addition of the completelyindependent trimmer capacitor 2 and also necessity for employing the printedcircuit board 1 give rise to increase of the number of parts involved, with consequent rise in cost and economical disadvantage. - It is an object of the present invention to provide a coaxial resonator which is arranged to suppress deterioration of unloaded Q to a minimum and capable of efficiently varying the resonance frequency thereof, which is compact in size and which may be employed in compact electrical filters, oscillators, or the like with high performance and reliability at low cost.
- In accomplishing this object the coaxial resonator according to the present invention is characterized by a stator electrode formed on one of the end faces of said dielectric member, and a rotor member of a dielectric material rotatably held in close contact with said end face of said coaxial resonator main body on which said stator electrode is formed, and provided with a rotor electrode confronting said stator electrode, said coaxial resonator being arranged to vary capacity between said stator electrode and said rotor electrode by rotating said rotor member.
- The coaxial resonator in accordance with the present invention is capable of efficiently varying the resonance frequency with a minimum deterioration of the unloaded Q.

- Referring now to the drawings, there is shown, in Figs. 2 through 8, a 1/4 wavelength or A/4 coaxial resonator 5 according to one preferred embodiment of the present invention. The coaxial resonator 5 generally includes a cylindrical dielectric member 6 (Fig. 5) composed, for example, of a ceramic material or the like as a resonator main body, and formed with a central
axial bore 6h extending therethrough, anelectrode layer 7 including an inner electrode orconductor 7a formed on an inner peripheral surface of theaxial bore 6h of thedielectric member 6, an outer electrode orconductor 7b formed on an outer peripheral surface of thedielectric member 6, and an end face electrode orconductor 7c formed on one end face of thedielectric member 6, all of which electrodes are continuously applied onto saiddielectric member 6 by a metallizing process and the like, a pair of opposedstator electrode layers other end face 6e of thedielectric member 6 not formed with theelectrode layer 7 so as to be electrically conducted with theelectrode layer 7, anannular rotor 10 of a dielectric material provided with a sector-shaped rotor electrode 9 formed on its one surface along a peripheral edge of acentral opening 10h thereof so as to correspond to thestator electrodes dielectric member 6, and disposed in close contact with theend face 6e of thedielectric member 6, and ashaft 14 with ahead portion 13, inserted into theinner electrode 7a formed in theaxial bore 6h of thedielectric member 6 through aspring member 12 having a pair of holes 11 to receive an adjusting tool 16 (Fig. 8) for capacity adjustment, and also through thecentral opening 10h of therotor 10, with the distal end of theshaft 14 extended through thedielectric member 6 being electrically and mechanically connected to theelectrode 7c, for example, by staking as at 14f (Fig. 2) or by soldering or the like, while thespring member 12 and therotor electrode 9 of therotor 10 are connected to each other by solder 15 (Fig. 4) and the like. - It should be noted here that the configuration of the
dielectric member 6 is not limited to the cylindrical shape as described in the foregoing embodiment, but may be modified into various shapes, for example, into a square tube-like configuration, etc. - Referring also to Fig. 7 showing an equivalent circuit for the coaxial resonator of the present invention, the coaxial resonator 5 as described so far may be represented by the equivalent circuit surrounded by dotted lines in Fig. 7, in which a capacity C formed between the outer peripheral surface and inner peripheral surface of the
dielectric member 6 for theelectrode 7, and inductance L of theelectrode layer 7 are coupled in parallel relation with each other. Meanwhile, a variable capacity CT obtained by thestator electrodes rotor electrode 9 of therotor 10 forms a circuit to be connected in parallel with the above parallel circuit, thus a resonance circuit capable of varying the resonance frequency is constituted. - By the above arrangement, when the
rotor 10 is rotated together with thespring member 12, with the ends of the adjustingtool 16 as shown in Fig. 8 fitted into the corresponding holes 11 of thespring member 12, confronting areas between therotor electrode 9 of therotor 10 and thestator electrode - It should be noted here that, the arrangement of the embodiment described so far may be further modified, for example, in such a manner that, with the
spring member 12 omitted, by forming the adjusting tool receiving holes 11 directly in therotor 10, therotor 10 is held in pressure contact with theend face 6e of the dielectric coaxial resonator 5 through thehead portion 13 of theshaft 14. - Referring further to Figs. 9 through 14, there is shown a
coaxial resonator 5B according to another embodiment of the present invention. Thecoaxial resonator 5B also includes the cylindricaldielectic member 6B composed, for example, of a ceramic material or the like as a resonator main body, and formed with the central axial bore 6Bh extending therethrough, theelectrode layer 7B including the inner electrode or conductor 7Ba formed on the inner peripheral surface of the axial bore 6Bh of thedielectric members 6B, the outer electrode or conductor 7Bb formed on the outer peripheral surface of thedielectric member 6B, and the end face electrode or conductor 7Bc formed on one end face of thedielectric member 6B, all of which are continuously applied onto saiddielectric member 6B by a metallizing process and the like generally in the similar manner as in the embodiment of Figs. 2 through 8 so far. - On the end surface 6Be of the
coaxial resonator 5B not formed with the electrode 7Bc, an annular internal electrode 7B1 concentrically formed around the peripheral edge of the axial bore 6Bh and connected to the inner electrode 7Ba of theelectrode 7B, and a sector-shaped stator electrode 8B formed around the outer peripheral edge of thedielectric member 6B and connected to the outer electrode layer 7Bb of theelectrode 7B are respectively provided. Meanwhile, a rotor 10B formed, on its one surface, with asemi-circular rotor electrode 9B to confront thestator electrode 8B, and on its other surface, with a contact electrode 10B1 (Fig. 13) conducted with saidrotor electrode 9B via a through-hole or the like, is disposed on the end surface 6Be formed with the internal electrode 7B1 and thestator electrode 8B, in close contact with said end surface 6Be, with a central square hole 10Bh of the rotor 10B being engaged with an engaging portion 13B1 having a corresponding square cross section and formed at the end (i.e. upper end in Fig. 14) of ashaft 13B to be inserted into the axial bore 6Bh of thecoaxial resonator 5B through the end face 7Bc of saidresonator 5B. In the head portion at the other end (i.e. lower end in Fig. 14) of theshaft 13B, a groove 13B2 is formed for receiving therein an end of an adjusting tool or screw driver and the like (not particularly shown) for capacity adjustment. Moreover, to the distal end of theshaft 13B above the engaging portion 13B1 thereof, a spring member S having a pair of terminal lugs t extending outwardly therefrom is fixed, for example, by staking or threading engagement, and thus, the rotor 10B is held in close contact with the end face 6Be of thecoaxial resonator 5B through proper resiliency, with the contact electrode 10B1 (Fig. 13) of the rotor 10B electrically contacting the annular internal electrode 7B1 of theresonator 5B. The spring member S is electrically connected with therotor electrode 9B of the rotor 10B through the terminal lugs t thereof. - The
coaxial resonator 5B described so far with reference to Figs. 9 through 14 may be represented by the equivalent circuit as shown in Fig. 7, in the similar manner as in the embodiment of Figs. 2 to 8, and upon rotation of the rotor 10B through theshaft 13B, the capacity at the open side of thecoaxial resonator 5B may be varied, thereby to change the resonance frequency thereof as desired. - As is clear from the foregoing description, according to the coaxial resonator of the present invention, only parts required for functioning as a trimmer capacitor are the resonator main body, rotor and shaft, and thus, the coaxial resonator capable of varying resonance frequency may be constituted by the extremely small number of parts involved, with a consequent simplification of assembly and reduction in cost, while, owing to the arrangement in which the stator electrode is continued to the electrode of the coaxial resonator main body, not only loss is very small as a coaxial resonator dealing with high frequencies, but alterations of resonance frequency may be positively effected in a simple manner, with substantial elimination of disadvantages inherent in the conventional coaxial resonators of this kind.
- Although the present invention has been fully described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is to be noted here that various changes and modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Therefore, unless otherwise such changes and modifications depart from the scope of the present invention, they should be construed as included therein.
