Abstract

A dielectric filter with integral electromagnetic shielding comprises a dielectric block having an outer surface including first and second end surfaces and a side surface extending between the first and second end surfaces; an external conductor disposed on the outer surface of the dielectric block and providing integral electromagnetic shielding of the dielectric filter; at least one hole extending through the dielectric body between the first and second end surfaces, having a respective inner surface with a substantially constant cross-sectional shape; a respective pair of internal conductors provided in the at least one hole and conductively connected to the external conductor at respective ends of the hole, a respective non-conductive portion in the hole being spaced from both ends and thereby separating the pair of internal conductors and defining a respective capacitance between the pair of internal conductors, a surface of the respective non-conductive portion being substantially flush with the rest of the inner surface of the hole; and signal input and output electrodes provided on the outer surface of the dielectric body and electrically isolated from the external conduct…
