Abstract
A dielectric resonator of the invention includes a cavity having a first threaded hole; a dielectric block provided in the cavity; a coupling device coupled with an electromagnetic field produced in the cavity; a frequency tuning member having a screw portion which is spirally engaged with the first threaded hole of the cavity, a distance between the dielectric block and the frequency tuning member being changed by rotating the frequency tuning member, for tuning a resonance frequency of the cavity depending on the distance; and fixing means for fixing a relative positional relationship between the frequency tuning member and the cavity, wherein the fixing means prevents the frequency tuning member from rotating due to a frictional force caused between the first threaded hole of the cavity and the screw portion of the frequency tuning member, the fixing means including a lock nut having a second threaded hole which is spirally engaged with the screw portion of the frequency tuning member.
