Claim 15:
16. An RF dielectric filter comprising:
a block of dielectric material including a plurality of exterior surfaces including top and bottom exterior longitudinal surfaces and exterior side surfaces;
a layer of conductive material covering the plurality of exterior surfaces of the block of dielectric material;
first and second RF signal input/output pads bridging the bottom exterior surface and an exterior side surface of the block of dielectric material;
wherein each of the first and second RF signal input/output pads comprises:
an elongate strip of conductive material bridging the bottom exterior surface and one of the exterior side surfaces and including an end unitary with the layer of conductive material on the exterior side surface; and
a strip of dielectric material surrounding the elongate strip of conductive material with the exception of the end of the elongate strip of conductive material on the one exterior side surface which is unitary with the layer of conductive material on the one exterior side surface; wherein a width of opposing portions of the strip of dielectric material located on the one of the exterior side surfaces is greater than the width of each of lengths of the strip of dielectric material located on the bottom exterior surface that extend to the opposing portions.
