A resonator hole 3 penetrating from the upper surface to the lower surface is formed in the dielectric block 1 to constitute a resonator, and an inner conductor 4 made of a conductive film is provided on the inner surface of the resonator hole 3. A conductive film 5 is also provided by metallization on all surfaces of the dielectric block 1 except for the upper surface and the longitudinal side surfaces 20, and constitutes a resonator with a wavelength of 1/4 of the operating frequency. If a conductive film is applied to the top surface of the dielectric block 1, it becomes a 1/2 wavelength resonator. inner conductors 4 of two adjacent resonators,
An adjustment hole 6 for adjusting the degree of coupling is drilled at the midpoint of 4, and an adjustment rod 8 supported by the upper lid 7 is inserted into the adjustment hole 6. The adjustment rod 8 is made of metal or dielectric, and by moving it up and down, two adjacent
The degree of coupling between the two resonators is adjusted, and fluctuations in filter characteristics due to dimensional errors in dielectric processing, variations in dielectric, etc. are corrected. In addition, above the resonator hole 3... there is a metal screw (adjustment rod) 9 for fine tuning the resonance frequency.
... are arranged to face each other, and resonator excitation rods 13 are arranged outside the left and right end resonators, and are connected to the input/output connector 10. A radio frequency input signal from connector 10 is coupled to dielectric block 1 via lead 11. In this case, matching between the dielectric filter and the input impedance is achieved by adjusting the length of the excitation rod 13 inserted into the excitation hole 12 for excitation of the resonator.

As described above, an elongated multi-stage filter becomes considerably longer as the number of stages increases, and the antenna resonator of a mobile radio device constituted by this type of filter becomes larger and heavier. Another problem is that dielectric filters are manufactured by sintering dielectric blocks such as ceramics, so if they become elongated, the dielectric blocks warp and deform during firing, reducing the yield of the product. As a countermeasure to this problem, efforts have been made to reduce the size and length of dielectric filters and improve yields.

However, when downsizing dielectric filters, since they are made of ceramics, simply reducing the dimensions will not only make dimensional accuracy more difficult, but also increase the current density per unit area due to miniaturization. In this case, the Q of the filter characteristic also deteriorates, resulting in a decrease in the performance of the filter.
