  • the two variants both have a spurious-free window which is more than four times the frequency-width of the spurious-free window of the equivalent dielectric combline resonator.
  • the power handling capability of the variants of the resonator 40 of Figures 4 and 5 depends strongly on the gap between the dielectric post 44 and the hollow conductive cylinder 48, and also on the length overlap of these elements. These dimensions also determine the extent of miniaturisation compared to the equivalent prior art dielectric combline resonator, in the case of any particular single-pole resonator. There is therefore a trade-off to consider in the design of a resonator such as the resonator 40: increased miniaturisation results in lower power-handling capability.
