Abstract

A radiofrequency filter exhibiting at least one resonant mode comprises: at least one cavity at least partially closed using conductive walls, having a cylindrical outer surface defined by a directing curve described by a generatrix and having a point of symmetry, an axis passing through a point of symmetry and parallel to the generatrix being a longitudinal axis of the cavity. At least one dielectric element is arranged in the cavity and comprises: a first portion having a thickness according to the longitudinal axis and a section according to a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis whose vertices are distributed according to a polygon, at least two vertices being short-circuited between them by the conductive walls of the cavity, via an electrical or radiofrequency contact between the vertices and walls, at least one pyramidal portion comprising an apex and a base coinciding with an extreme section of the first portion.
