Abstract:
A planar dielectric integrated circuit, comprising:a first planar dielectric line comprising: a first slot which is provided by disposing two conductors at a fixed distance apart on a first main surface of a dielectric plate, and a second slot, which opposes the first slot and is provided by disposing two conductors at a fixed distance apart on a second main surface of said dielectric plate, with a region sandwiched between said first slot and said second slot being provided as a plane-wave propagation region; a dielectric resonator provided by a pair of mutually opposing conductor-free portions within corresponding ones of said conductors on said first and second main surfaces of said dielectric plate, said dielectric resonator being electromagnetically coupled to said first planar dielectric line; a slot line provided at an end portion of said first planar dielectric line on said dielectric plate; line conversion conductor patterns which are connected to said first planar dielectric line and which are used to perform mode conversion between said first planar dielectric line and said slot line; and electronic components disposed in such a manner as to be extended over said slot line.
