An RF filter includes: an electrical conductor defining an outer sphere; a dielectric material defining an inner sphere disposed within the conductor outer sphere; and at least a first electrical probe and a second electrical probe. Each probe extends through the conductor and is electrically insulated from it. A spherical shape of one or both of the inner and outer spheres is interrupted by: a) a first localized discontinuity in said spherical shape disposed along a first axis passing through a geometric center of the one or both of the inner and outer spheres; and b) a second localized discontinuity in said sphere form disposed along a second axis passing through the geometric center, the second axis perpendicular to the first axis. There can be more than these two discontinuities, implemented as chamfers, tuning screws, and the like. Series and parallel coupling of the spheres is detailed.

Adaptions and improvements to coaxial metal powder filters include distributing a dissipative matrix mixture comprising superconductive material, metal powder, epoxy, and/or magnetic material within a volume defined by an outer tubular conductor and inner conductor. The frequency response of the filter may be tuned by exploiting the energy gap frequency of superconductive material in the dissipative matrix. The inner surface of the outer tubular conductor may be covered with a superconductive material. For a dissipative matrix comprising magnetic material or superconductive powder particles of a certain size, an external magnetic field can be applied to tune the frequency response of the filter.

A coaxial filter comprises a housing that surrounds a receiving space. The housing comprises a trough-shaped housing element with sidewalls and a front wall. The housing further comprises a further trough-shaped housing element, wherein the two trough-shaped housing elements are placed on top of one another, thus forming the receiving space; or a lid arrangement which, together with the trough-shaped housing element forms the receiving space. At least one resonator inner conductor arrangement comprises a connecting bridge, with which resonator inner conductors are conductingly connected.

A cable structure includes isolation layers, a first signal wire, a second signal wire, a first ground wire, a second ground wire, a first conductor, and a second conductor.

A high-frequency filter consists of a housing, which includes resonators, each of which has at least one dielectric. The n resonators are arranged along a central axis. The n resonators are isolated from one another by at least n1 isolation devices. The n1 isolation devices have coupling openings, through which a coupling is established at a right angle to or with one component predominantly at a right angle to the H field. A first signal line terminal is inserted into the first resonator chamber through a first opening in the housing and is in contact with the respective dielectric there. In addition or alternatively, a second signal line terminal is inserted into the n.sup.th resonator chamber through a second opening in the housing and is in contact with the respective dielectric there.
