This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/906,215, filed Jun. 25, 1992 now abandoned.
The invention relates to a filter which comprises a body of a dielectric material having upper and lower surfaces, two side surfaces, two end surfaces and at least one hole which extends from the upper surface of the body to the lower surface, and an electrically conductive layer covering major portions of the lower surface, one side face, both end faces and the surface of said hole thereby forming a transmission line resonator.
Dielectric filters are often used at high frequencies as front-end filters in data transmission devices, specifically radiotelephones. The function of the front-end filters is to pass the desired frequencies and to attenuate all other frequencies, especially the image frequency produced by the mixer of the receiver.
The image frequency is an electromagnetic signal of a certain frequency, which may cause interference in the mixer receiver. The image frequency is formed in the following manner: when two signals are combined, as in the mixer of the receiver the received signal of an arbitrary frequency f and the constant-frequency signal fLO obtained from the local oscillator, the final signal is obtained from the mixer as a sum and a difference of these, f+fLO and f-fLO. Only those frequencies f which differ from the local-oscillator frequency fLO by the amount of the intermediate frequency fIF are significant. From this it follows that without the front-end filter the mixer would provide an intermediate-frequency signal fIF, which is equally intense both for signals received at frequency f1, where f1 =fLO -fIF and those received at f2, where f2 =FLO +FIF. Thus either one of these signal frequencies can be selected as the signal in which the desired information is coded. When f1 or f2 has been selected, signals of the non-selected frequency (f1 or f2) constitute an interference, unless the response to the non-selected signal is eliminated by the front-end filter before its arrival in the mixer of the receiver. This undesired signal f1 or f2, in which the desired information is not coded, is called an image-frequency signal.
The problem in a dielectric filter made from a discrete resonator is lower-end attenuation. Substantial attenuation is not produced at the lower end of the pass band, and thus the filter may not eliminate very effectively the image frequency produced at the lower end. By coupling extra resonators to the resonator it is possible to produce extra zeros in the transfer function of the filter. By means of the zeros, attenuation can be increased at the frequencies desired, i.e. at the image frequency and its harmonics.
The manufacture of dielectric transmission-line resonators tends to be expensive, and the size of the filter increases considerably as the number of resonators increases.
European patent application EP-A-0,401,839 and corresponding U.S. Pat. No 5,103,197 disclose band-pass filters implemented with one ceramic block, in which an electrode pattern is provided on one of the side surfaces to allow coupling to the resonator and, in the case of multiple resonators, between adjacent resonators, which coupling can be either purely capacitive or purely inductive, or a combination of these, as desired. It is also possible to connect, to the electrode pattern on this side surface, discrete components and inductance wires, by which the resonators and the couplings between them are affected. This side surface may ultimately be covered with a conductive cover, whereupon the ceramic block is enveloped by a conductive material throughout.
The object of the present invention is to provide a dielectric filter in which the above-mentioned disadvantages of filters made of several ceramic resonators have been eliminated. According to the present invention a filter having the features recited in the opening paragraph above is characterized in that at ,least one strip-line resonator is formed on the other side surface of the dielectric body.
A side surface of the dielectric body is thus used as a substrate for the strip-line resonator. On this side surface a strip-line resonator having a low Q value can be formed to produce a zero (or a pole) at the desired frequency in the transfer function of the filter. The frequency of the zero (or pole) produced by the strip-line resonator depends on the shape of the strip and on the dielectric constant of the ceramic block. A zero causes attenuation at the frequency concerned, and so an image-frequency signal can be attenuated more strongly by means of an extra resonator. By increasing the number of strip-line resonators the attenuation of the frequency concerned can be further increased.
An embodiment of the invention is described below with reference to the accompanying figures, in which
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a dielectric filter in accordance with the invention, and
FIG. 2 is a graph showing the attenuation of the filter in FIG. 1.
The filter 1 in FIG. 1 is made of a ceramic body generally in the form of a block which has at least one hole 3 extending from the upper surface 2 to the lower surface. Suitable ceramic materials will be known to a person skilled in the art. All the surfaces of the body, with the exception of the upper surface 2 and the side surface 4, are coated with an electrically conductive material 6. The inner surface of the hole 3 is also coated, and this coating is contiguous with the coating on the lower surface. Thus a transmission-line resonator is formed in a known manner. Furthermore, two strip-line resonators 5 are formed on the uncoated side surface 4. One end of each strip line 5 is connected with the coating 6 of the filter. The strip-line resonators 5 produce an extra zero in the transfer function of the filter 1, and the frequency of the zero is dependent on the length, width and thickness of the strip and on the dielectric constant of the ceramic material. The strip-line resonators 5 are coupled with each other and with the ceramic resonator 3 via an electrical and magnetic field associated with each resonator 3 and 5. The distance between the strip lines 5 and their distance from the ceramic resonator 3 affect, in a known manner, the inter-coupling between the strip lines 5 and their coupling with the ceramic resonator 3. Coupling to the resonators is carried out by forming on the side surface 4, by using a mask, electrode patterns which are conductive areas of a certain shape. The number, shape, characteristics, and possible discrete components of the electrode patterns vary according to the desired properties and the method of implementation of the filter, and are not directly relevant to the present invention. For more details thereof reference is invited to the aforementioned EP-A-0,401,839 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,103,197. The strip-line resonators can be made using the same mask as for the circuit patterns. Ultimately the side surface 4 which contains the circuit patterns and stripline resonators may be overlaid with a cover made of a conductive material. Indeed, the whole ceramic block may be enveloped by a conductive cover.
FIG. 2 depicts an example of the effect of strip-line resonators on the frequency response of the filter. The continuous curve 7 depicts the attenuation A of the ceramic resonator, as a function of the frequency f. The curve 8 indicated by short dashed lines depicts the frequency response of the filter when one strip-line resonator is coupled to the ceramic resonator, and the curve 9 indicated by long dashed lines depicts respectively the frequency response of the filter when there are two strip-line resonators coupled to the ceramic resonator. As shown in FIG. 2, the zeros produced by the strip-line resonators increase attenuation at frequency fI, which may, for example, be the image frequency. The strip lines do not have substantial effect on the attenuation of the pass band.
A ceramic filter in accordance with the invention can thus be implemented by forming at least one strip-line resonator on one of the side surfaces of the ceramic resonator. By means of such a filter the desired frequencies can be eliminated more effectively than with a separate resonator. Since the strip lines are made on a side surface of the ceramic block, the filter is of substantially the same size as a separate ceramic resonator. The forming of the strip lines is inexpensive as compared with the manufacture of a ceramic resonator, and the reproducibility of the strip lines is reliable with the aid of photolithography. The forming of the strip-line resonators does not require an extra manufacturing step, since they can be produced with the same mask as the electrode patterns. The manufacture of a filter in accordance with the invention is thus substantially less expensive than the manufacture of an equivalent filter made up of several ceramic resonators, and furthermore, such a filter can be substantially smaller in size than a filter made up of a plurality of ceramic resonators.
It was stated earlier that one end of the strip lines constituting the resonators is connected with the coating of the filter. A strip line may also be formed on the side surface so that it is not contiguous with the coated surfaces of the filter but one end is short-circuited using a separate connection. In addition, the strip line may be open or short-circuited at both ends. Furthermore, it is noted here that the strip-line resonator(s) may provide a pole in the transfer function of the filter.
Finally it is noted that the invention is applicable to multi-resonator filters, implemented as discrete resonators or as plural resonators in a common dielectric block, in which one or more of the resonators is provided with a strip-line resonator on a side face of the dielectric block in which the respective filter is formed.

Juicy Couture
Availability: In stock
The Beach Boys wished we could all be California girls. And though that might not be a reality, Juicy Couture has at the very least delivered a fragrance that embodies the casual glam of the sunny West Coast. Feminine and bold, this sweet citrus blend will have you California dreaming about a laidback day in the sand along the Malibu coastline.
Bright notes of mandarin orange blend with sweet, sparkling sugar to create a fun and fresh fragrance for the warm summer months and beyond. Don't be surprised to find yourself channeling your inner luxe L.A. girl.
Spray onto your wrists, neck, and other pulse points.
smells like a 13 year old girl. i wish birchbox would stop sending these awful juicy samples. considering canceling and switching to ipsy.
I typically go for baby powder scents, but this is a nice fruity smell. I like to wear it during the day as opposed to an evening perfume.
This one was just not my cup of tea. I like more subtle and earthier scents and this one was over powering. It almost smells like sugar and having that stick around all day was a little sickening. Maybe with a little more of the citrus present it would be better.
I hated this smell. I thought it was juvenile. I also do not wear perfume but if I did, it wouldn't be this one!
I sampled this fragrence and love its summer feel and ordered a full size bottle. Great purchase! Would recommend to anyone wanting something fun with a beachy feel for the summer.
Too sweet. Too candy like. I'm from LA and this does not make me think of California or Malibu at all. This scent is childish and immature. It seems like the kind of thing a teenager would be wearing.
I love me some Juicy perfumes as they are often sickeningly sweet and add some liveliness to my general aura when wearing it. I would consider purchasing this product.
This is something that I could imagine a teenager would wear. The sweet smell of citrus made me want to have a laid back day.
I really like the smell of this perfume. I might buy this perfume for myself some day. I do like the bottle as well.
I really like how feminine I always feel when I wear these fragrances. It is not too much of anything: not too fruity, not too sweet, not too heavy, not too bold...perfect. My only complaint? my sample wasn't big enough ;)

Yippee - Perennial Hippis in z7
I'm happy to report that it looks like hippis just might be perennial in Zone 7! I took a chance and left out some of my Red Lions and those Breck's "Hardy" (Sonatini) bulbs last winter with a good covering of mulch/leaves, and sure enough they've come back and are blooming!
I'm so excited about this because, mostly, it means I have someplace new to stash a bunch of the bulbs and seedlings that I've run out of room for elsewhere. Looks like I might not have to move to Fla. after all, Cindee.
(Josh, guess what I found in the garden too? Looks like that pink/white "hardy" came back that you were interested in. Look to the right of the tall lilies. Maybe it just didn't bloom last year. A bulblet will have your name on it this summer ;-) )
Alana From Spring 2011
Hi Donna, yes you should definitely give it a try. Especially in a protected area. I figured being next to the house and over where the water pipe comes in might be a bit warmer, but this year I will try some by the mailbox too.
I planted them so that their neck was just at ground height. I noticed during the winter that one of my bigger ones had lifted a bit, and in the spring the neck was very soft and that freeze also affected the first scape coming up. But now that bulb looks pretty good and has a second scape. I plant to dig it up when it's done blooming, separate the bulblets and plant it deeper.
I don't think I lost any - but really I don't know how many I had. This was all from one Red Lion I got as my first bulb in Lowes in '08, with all its accumulated bulblets. But it looks like they're all there. Funny thing is though, that I thought that bulb was a Red Lion since that's what it was marked. Now that I know more about bulbs, I look at the bloom and instantly know it isn't a Red Lion after all - some much darker red with green streaking in the throat. Either that or all the bulbs mysteriously changed ;-)
Actually leaving the Red Lions outside was Frank's idea (Raleigh Frank) and it was brilliant.
WOOHOO!!!! I knew it would be okay :)
I've planted a 'Limona' out today :) I had a Hippeastrum come back this year but it wasn't large enough to bloom when I planted it.. I'm not exactly sure what kind it is either, hopefully it will bloom next spring! It's growing VERY well tho!!!
I have a lot of Hippeastrum hybrids I'm planing out this year, I'm amending a bed with sand and granite for drainage and I'm going to plant them deep with a nice layer of mulch over top. I have a great feeling that they'll come back year to year! We will see!
Alana, I'm glad you found 'Flamingo', it's a beautiful hybrid for sure ;)
Josh, that's great news on yours too. I've been busily planting out some seedlings. So 'Flamingo' is the pink trumpet? It's pretty for sure. I'm glad it came up again - it was just a little further back (and into the Hydrangea a bit) then I thought I would have put it. What do you suppose the 'ploidy is on them? I tried its pollen on Trentino which I think should be a match, but I was wondering about reg. tets like Moonlight.

Bay Area Bites Guide To 5 Movie Theaters Serving Food and Alcoholic Beverages
Date night just got easier with this list of five local theaters that serve more than just popcorn and Junior Mints.
Pasta Piselli is one of those dishes for us. A dish made with peas, tomatoes, herbs and onions, it is simple and forthright. There is nothing showy about this dish, yet made with fresh spring onions and just-shelled English peas, I find that it has an innate elegance that makes it perfect not only for a family meal but as something I would be proud to serve to guests.
There are a lot of great recipes for peas, but one of my favorites is Fresh Spring Pea Soup. Cooked with caramelized onions, plus a hint of basil and mint, the peas sweet earthy flavors really burst through; plus the soup's vivid green color is quite pretty.

anyone jumping the gun?
Just finished planting one raised bed worth of lettuce, mesclun, peas, carrots and kolrabi. Extension service says April 15th for all of them.
I just figured why not? Extended forecast looks OK so I just went ahead and did it. Can always replant in April if I need to.
Anyone else planting anything too early to see what happens?
It's complete muck here although I was surprised how much was thawed. I sprinkled some poppy seed in one area. I did have fairly decent success one year in lettuce broadcasted early. Let us know how it goes!
Most years, I can't get an early garden in, due to wet ground. The soil here in the Fox Valley is very fertile, but it is also heavy, and dries out slowly. My garden is quite large (over 10,000 square feet) so raised beds wouldn't work for me... I'm more of a small-scale farmer than a large-scale gardener. ;-)
But at times like this, I wish that I had a few raised beds, especially as I read some of the comments above. It might be worthwhile to put just a couple in, for those early spring peas, and to give an extra head-start for some of the long-season peppers & pole beans. Maybe next year!
Yes, lettuce, spinach, broccoli, and potatoes. My soil is very sandy (I'm about 1/4 mile from the lake in Sheboygan) and so was workable and not too cold. I ran out to Menards for about 400 lbs of manure and worked a couple of bags into the soil before planting. Also my strawberries have greened up nicely. Hope I didn't jump the gun too much, but the nice weather just made me want to get going!
During the "warm" days at Christmas time, I sifted the raised beds I wanted to plant in early. Around the 1st week in March, I put in a prearranged group of seeds (anything that sprouts in cool weather)in those beds. I figure I'm cutting out the middle step using winter sowing ideas.
If we had the projected rain, the seeds probably would be up by now. However, I am still waiting. A loose mulch of straw might be a good idea, till we get some real rain.
Until then, I am moving many plants before they start growing with enthusiasm. ..............GL
Not to scare anyone, but next week is showing a nice cold shot into S Wi... Should be some freezing nights (mid 20's?), hopefully no lower. Haven't seeded anything, I think once next weeks cold shot gets out of here, i'm going for it. My peach tree buds are really swelling, but hopefully tonite/tomorrow's cool down will tell it to slow down!
I jumped! On 3-27, earliest ever, I planted snow peas, 2 kinds of lettuce, and 3 kinds of radishes. No big deal if they rot in the ground and I have to replant. Strawberry leaves are growing and something is eating them! It's not cutworms, big poops like a caterpillar. I pulled away straw looking for the #$!%&! critter but couldn't find it.
So strawberrys should have leaves by now?? I Knew mine were dead! They were in container and sat outside all winter. Last winter kept them in garage and they did fine...toobad..ohwell. I'm starting planting tomorrow in the garden ...carrots/beets/peas/etc... Looks like spring starts this weekend...
