Abstract
A dielectric filter and a dielectric duplexer with improved out-of-band attenuation characteristics in the vicinity of the pass band without changing the pass band characteristics. Inner conductor forming holes are formed from one end face to the opposite end face of a dielectric block, and inner conductors are formed on the respective inner surfaces. An outer conductor is formed over substantially the entire outer surface of the dielectric block. On one side surface of the dielectric block, substantially parallel to the inner conductors, outer conductor gaps are provided in at least one area disposed between a pair of inner conductors, extending between the opposite end faces.
