Claim 11:
12. A RF dielectric filter comprising:
a block of dielectric material including top and bottom exterior longitudinal surfaces, opposed exterior end surfaces, and opposed side exterior surfaces covered with a layer of conductive material;
first and second RF signal input/output pads located at opposed ends of the block;
each of the RF signal input/output pads comprising a strip of conductive material bridging between the bottom exterior surface and the respective exterior end surface; and
a strip of dielectric material surrounds all the sides of the elongate strip of conductive material except for one end of the strip of conductive material on the exterior end surface which is in a direct unitary coupling relationship with the remainder of the conductive material on the exterior end surface,
wherein opposed portions of the strip of dielectric material located on the opposed exterior end surfaces each have a width greater than each of lengths of the strip of dielectric material located on the bottom exterior surface that extend to the opposed portions.
