Abstract
A dielectric filter that has attenuation poles on both the low frequency side and the high frequency side of its pass band, without using two dielectric resonators. The dielectric filter includes a cavity in which a conductive layer is formed, and a cross-shaped dielectric resonator disposed within the cavity, the dielectric resonator having at least three resonant modes, and coupling loops being coupled to the dielectric resonator. A coupling loop couples to a resonant mode at a first stage, among the resonant modes of the dielectric resonator, and also couples to resonant mode at a third stage in approximately negative-phase with respect to the first stage.
