DANSK DS/EN 61338-2 PDF

This part of 61338, which contains guidelines for use, is limited to the waveguide type dielectric resonators that are used for oscillator and filter applications. These types of resonators are now widely used in oscillators for direct broadcasting or communication satellite systems, oscillators for radio links, voltage controlled oscillators for mobile communication systems and so on. In addition, these dielectric resonators are also used as an essential component of miniaturized filters for the same kind of applications. It is not the aim of this guide either to explain theory, or to attempt to cover all the eventualities that may arise in practical circumstances. This guide draws attention to some of the more fundamental questions, which should be considered by the user before he places an order for dielectric resonators for a new application. Such a procedure will be the user's insurance against unsatisfactory performance. Standard specifications, such as those in the IEC standard of which this guide forms a part, and national specifications or detail specifications issued by manufacturers, will define the available combinations of resonance frequency, quality factor, temperature coefficient of resonance frequency, etc. These specifications are compiled to include a wide range of dielectric resonators with standardized performances.
