Abstract
A dielectric filter with a shorting conductor for improving a spurious response characteristic in a mode other than a fundamental mode (TEM mode). Two resonator holes having inner conductors formed on their inner surfaces are formed through a dielectric block between a pair of end surfaces. An outer conductor is formed on outer surfaces of the dielectric block. A through hole is formed through a central portion of the dielectric block between two major surfaces of the block, and a shorting conductor is formed on the inner surface of the through hole to be connected to outer conductor portions on the two major surfaces of the dielectric block. The shorting conductor is disposed at a location where the electric field strength of the undesired mode is high.
