Abstract

A variable resonator has a dielectric substrate, an input/output lineformed on the dielectric substrate, a first resonatorthat has one end connected to the input/output lineand the other end grounded, and a second resonator that has one end connected to the input/output lineat the point of connection of the one end of the first resonatorand the other end grounded via a terminal switch. When the terminal switchis turned off, resonance occurs at a frequency at which the sum of the line lengths of the first resonatorand the second resonatorequals to a quarter of the wavelength. When the terminal switchis turned on, resonance occurs at a frequency at which a half of the sum of the line lengths equals to a quarter of the wavelength.
