Abstract

In this paper a band-pass filter using dielectric resonators with tuning screw and spacer at Ku-band is designed and constructed. For the filter design and construction, the coupling coefficient K between two resonators is numberically evaluated. The external quality factor Q$_{ex}$ is also calculated with a microstrip line which is necessary for the field excitation of dielectric resonator. The coupling between dielectric resonator and microstrip line depends mainly upon the magnetic field and is principal parameter in band-pass filter. The Q$_{ex}$ and K data which are evaluated by numberical analysis are practically applied to the filter construction. The theoretical Band-pass filter responses are given by Chebyshev approximation and they are nearly similar to the experimental results.
