Abstract
An arrangement for adjustably coupling a radio frequency input port to a resonator element of the filter. The arrangement comprises a resilient conductor (19) which extends from the input port (15) into the electric field of a resonator element (2).
The remote end of the resilient conductor resiliently abuts the point (20) of an adjustment screw (20a). Operating the screw moves the resilient conductor in relation to the electric field and alters the capacitive coupling between the input port and the resonator element for fine tuning the impedance match of the input to the filter.
The remote end of the resilient conductor resiliently abuts the point (20) of an adjustment screw (20a). Operating the screw moves the resilient conductor in relation to the electric field and alters the capacitive coupling between the input port and the resonator element for fine tuning the impedance match of the input to the filter.
Claims (7)
1. A radio frequency filter comprising a housing means containing at least one resonator element, an input port means and at least one output port means, said filter further including an arrangement for adjustably coupling said input port means to at least one resonator element, said arrangement comprising an elongated resilient conductor element of a predetermined dimension arranged to capacitively couple said input port means to said at least one resonator element's electric field zone, wherein said resilient conductor element is arranged to co-operate with lever means of electrical insulating material that can be manually activated by a connected actuating means mounted externally in a wall of said housing means, to move said resilient conductive element thereby adjusting capacitive coupling between said input port means and said resonator element's electric field.
2. A radio frequency filter as claimed in claim 1, wherein said resilient conductor extends from a part of the input port means such that the resilient conductor's free end resiliently abuts said lever means.
3. A radio frequency filter as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein said actuating means is a screw whose point forms the said lever means.
4. A radio frequency filter as claimed in any one of the preceding claim, wherein said at least one resonator element is a co-axial resonator.
5. A radio frequency filter as claimed in claim 4, comprising a plurality of the coaxial resonators.
6. A radio frequency filter comprising a housing means containing a first array of coupled resonator elements and an adjoining second array of coupled resonator elements, an input port means common to both arrays and respective output port means for each array, said filter further including an arrangement for adjustably coupling said input port means to a first resonator element in each array, said arrangement comprising an elongated resilient conductor extending from a part of said input port means to a first resonator elements' electric field zone, each end portion of said resilient conductor resiliently abutting the point of a respective adjustment screw of a electrical insulating material mounted in a wall of said housing and whose screw heads are outside said housing, whereby co-operation of respective screws moves associated end portions of said resilient conductor thereby adjusting capacitive coupling between said input port means and an associated resonator elements electric field.
7. A radio frequency filter as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein said electrical insulating material is aluminium oxide.
