Definitions

This invention relates to ceramic filter apparatus and to a method of use thereof.
a conventional telecommunication cell site arrangement will typically include at least one base transceiver station (BTS) to transmit and receive radio frequency signals via a mast mounted antenna to mobile electronic devices. Transmission and receive radio frequency signals typically pass along coaxial cables between the BTS and the antenna.
BTS base transceiver station
the technology within BTSs has advanced significantly and for many of the constituent modules, has also reduced in size considerably. The size reduction has meant that some of the equipment that previously occupied a ground based rack at the base of the mast, is now sufficiently compact to be housed in a single box known as a remote radio head (RRH), which can be mounted at the top of the cell site mast.
RRH remote radio head
a vital component of any BTS/RRH is a front end filter.
the front end filter can take the form of a bandpass filter for time divisional duplex systems (TDD, meaning that the system transmits and receives radio frequency signals on the same frequency but at different times) or a diplexer for frequency division duplex systems (FDD, meaning that the system is capable of transmitting and receiving radio frequency signals simultaneously but at different frequencies).
TDD time divisional duplex systems
FDD frequency division duplex systems
An example of a conventional front end transmit/receive diplexer 2 is shown in figure 1 .
Tx represents the transmission path from a BTS for transmitting one or more radio frequency signals to the antenna (ANT)
Rx represents the receive path to a BTS for receiving one or more radio frequency signals from the antenna (ANT).
Transmit and receive filters 4, 6 respectively are provided in the transmission and receive paths respectively.
Filters are electronic devices which allow an electromagnetic wave to be transmitted therethrough. They are designed in such a manner so as to allow radio frequency signals at one or more pre-determined frequencies to pass through the device (passband frequencies) and to substantially prevent radio frequency signals at frequencies other than the one or more pre-determined frequencies from passing through the device (stop band frequencies).
An example of a typical frequency response for the transmit and receive filters 4, 6 shown in figure 1 is illustrated in figure 2 .
the graph shows the transmission loss (dB) with frequency (MHz) for the receive filter passband (Rx) and the transmit filter passband (Tx) in this example. It can be seen that the transmission loss is high for each filter when the frequency is close to, but not in, the passband frequency. However, at frequencies much higher than the passband frequency of the filters, the transmission loss decreases, as shown in Figure 3 . Thus, there is an increase in unwanted frequencies passing through the filters at higher radio frequencies with respect to the passband frequency, which is undesirable.
LPF low pass filter
FIG. 6 shows an example of a practical implementation of the LPF in a conventional filter arrangement 10.
the filter 10 comprises a housing 12 having a base 14, and side walls 16 defining an opening at a top edge 18 thereof.
the housing 12 has a common port 20 and four channel ports 22.

the integral trough 28 is provided with an electrically conductive surface or coating thereon in use and acts as an outer electrical conductor to form part of the LPF.
An inner electrical conductor 30 is suspended within the trough 28.

Diplexer unit 100 consists of two ceramic waveguide filters 102, 104, the longitudinal axes of which are arranged parallel to each other, attached in a spaced apart manner to a base member in the of a PCB 106.
Ceramic filter 102 is arranged to act as a transmission filter for allowing the passage of one or more RF signals therethrough at at least a first frequency or frequency range, but to prevent, or substantially prevent, the passage of one or more RF signals therethrough at one or more other frequencies different to the at least first frequency or frequency range.
