まう。However, this dielectric coaxial resonator has a frequency of 5 GHz.
When used at the above frequencies, the dimensions defined by the frequency become thin, making it difficult to obtain input / output coupling, and it is necessary to increase the outer diameter to ensure a high Q. For example, in order to secure the required Q at a frequency of 5 GHz, an outer diameter of more than 10 mm is required. This goes against the demand for smaller electronic components and is not practical.
Alternatively, a TE mode resonator is used, but the structure is increased in size and the input / output coupling structure is complicated.
