Abstract
A small in-band-flat-group-delay type dielectric filter having low-loss characteristics with a small amplitude deviation and uniform-group-delay frequency characteristics is obtained, which enables broad-band characteristics to be obtained easily. The in-band-flat-group-delay type dielectric filter includes a plurality of dielectric coaxial resonators, a coupling circuit comprising a combination of reactive elements, with which the dielectric coaxial resonators are coupled to one another, and input/output terminals connected to ends of the coupling circuit. The dielectric coaxial resonators coupled to the input/output terminals are allowed to have a different characteristic impedance from that of the inter-stage dielectric coaxial resonators.
