Abstract
A dielectric filter provided in this invention has insertion-loss characteristics of 2 dB or lower in the range of 1 to 2% of a specific band. The dielectric filter includes an upper case and a lower case, a dielectric substrate, an electrode formed on mutually opposing surfaces thereof, and a plurality of pairs of openings formed in the electrodes on the two opposing surfaces, so as to form a plurality of dielectric resonators, and input-output couplers for coupling to each of an input-stage dielectric resonator and an output-stage dielectric resonator among the plurality of dielectric resonators. In the input-stage and output-stage dielectric resonators, the opening of the electrode is rectangular or polygonal, whereas in at least one of the dielectric resonators other than the input-stage and output-stage dielectric resonators, it is substantially circular.
