Appl. No.:

09/888285

Inventors:

Younes Ataiiyan - Santa Rosa CA
Brian Scott - Santa Rosa CA
John Dunseth - Santa Rosa CA
Ernest Nyiri - Bodega Bay CA

Assignee:

Microsource, Inc. - Santa Rosa CA

International Classification:

H01P 700

US Classification:

3332192, 333219, 333245

Abstract:

A spherical resonator device includes a resonant sphere around which transducers for electrical coupling are metallized layers on a flat surface shaped to provide exposure of a sphere to a quasi constant field. In particular, the pattern comprises a transmission line of non-constant width in the region proximate to the sphere where a taper is provided which increases in width with distance from the sphere.

Assignee:

Microsource, Inc. - Santa Rosa CA

International Classification:

H01P 1203

US Classification:

333205, 3332192

Abstract:

A micro-resonator ferrite microstrip coupling filter that has reduced susceptibility to variations in the manufacturing process, as well as from changes due to mechanical or environmental stress, and allows for an assembly process that can be easily automated. The filter comprises bottom and top substrates with conductive ground planes on one side of the substrates and microstrip conductors on the other side of the substrates, with the conductors of both substrates being orthogonal to each other. A circuit block is disposed between the bottom and top substrates such that the circuit block contacts the sides of the substrates containing microstrip conductors. Multiple YIG spheres are inserted into round orifices on the circuit block and positioned between the bottom and top substrates. A magnetic field is applied orthogonally to the conductors.
