An improved shield and ceramic filter. The shield includes (i) an upright portion (16) comprising a conductive material, (ii) a chamfered portion (22) disposed atop the upright portion (16), (iii) a horizontal portion (18) disposed on a distal portion of the chamfered portion (22) and (iv) one or more openings (20) disposed on the chamfered portion (22). The improved shield (12) desirably but not essentially further includes at least one slot (26) cut into a basal section of the upright portion (16). The at least one slot (26) allows a microstrip transmission line to pass under a portion of the shield (12).

Shield and ceramic filter

A housing with a microwave cavity and an external opening defined therein, a tubular waveguide section affixed in said opening with a tuning rod slideably positioned therein and an outer end affixed to an outer end of a sleeve mounted in surrounding relationship thereto with the inner end of the sleeve affixed to the housing. The sleeve and tuning rod are formed of dielectric material so that temperature changes on the sleeve cause movement of the rod in the cavity and compensate for changes in the resonant frequency of the cavity while the rod and the waveguide cooperate to prevent radiation leakage.
