Why should you use BS EN 61337-1 – Waveguide dielectric resonator filters?
The dielectric filters have the features of small size, low loss, high reliability, and high stability against temperature and ageing. Dielectric filters are suitable for applications such as mobile communication service, mobile satellite communication service, microwave terrestrial communication service, and fixed satellite communication service. They are now widely used for duplexers and filters of portable phones and cellular base stations.
BS EN 61337-1 specifies the measuring parameters, measuring methods, and procedures for calculating resistance and conductivity at the interface between the conductor layer and dielectric substrate.
BS EN 61337-1 explains the general and fundamental characteristics of the waveguide filters, and also gives practical guidance on the use of filters using waveguide type dielectric resonators that are used in telecommunications and radar systems.
BS EN 61337-1 has been compiled in response to a generally expressed desire on the part of both users and manufacturers for guidance, for the use of filters using waveguide type dielectric resonators, so that the filters may be used to their best advantage.
