Abstract
In a dual-mode filter, this invention is capable of optionally setting an attenuation pole frequency with maintaining a passbandwidth of the filter by selecting a combination of an angle between input/output ports and a size of a stub perturbation. The dual-mode filter includes a circular resonator formed on a dielectric substrate, a pair of input/output ports connected to the circular resonator through a capacitance formed on the substrate at a symmetrical position with respect to a symmetry plane passing through a center of the circular shape of the circular resonator, and stub poles are formed on the substrate radially extending along the symmetry plane from opposite positions of the circular resonator in the diametrical direction with each other. The pair of input/output ports are formed with defining an angle different from a right angle therebetween. When the angle between the pair of input/output ports is smaller or greater than 90°, an attenuation pole frequency can optionally be set by this angle and the size of the stub perturbation.
