Abstract

A resonator is connected to a first plane which is one of a power plane and a ground plane, wherein the power plane and the ground plane are apart from each other in an up-down direction. The resonator comprises a connecting portion and a body portion. The connecting portion is connected to the first plane. The connecting portion extends in the up-down direction beyond a second plane, which is a remaining one of the power plane and the ground plane, while not being in electrical contact with the second plane. The body portion is connected to the connecting portion while not being in contact with the second plane. The body portion is arranged so that the second plane is located between the body portion and the first plane in the up-down direction.

Claims (26)

1. A resonator comprising:

a connecting portion connected to a first plane, the connecting portion extending in an up-down direction beyond a second plane while not being in electrical contact with the second plane; and

a body portion connected to the connecting portion while not being in contact with the second plane, the body portion being arranged so that the second plane is located between the body portion and the first plane in the up-down direction,

wherein the first plane and the second plane are apart from each other in the up-down direction, and the first plane is one of a power plane and a ground plane and the second plane is the other of the power plane and the ground plane,

wherein the resonator is configured to operate as a stub, and

wherein the body portion of the resonator includes a loss component which receives power from the power plane and attenuates high frequency power while preventing loss of direct-current power.

2. The resonator as recited in claim 1 , wherein:

the second plane is formed with a through hole which pierces the second plane in the up-down direction; and

the connecting portion extends through the through hole.

3. The resonator as recited in claim 1 , wherein the body portion of the resonator extends horizontally in a plane perpendicular to the up-down direction.

4. The resonator as recited in claim 1 , wherein the body portion of the resonator extends helically in a plane perpendicular to the up-down direction.

5. The resonator as recited in claim 1 , wherein the loss component is a resistor connected to the body portion.

6. The resonator as recited in claim 1 , wherein the loss component is a magnetic substance which is arranged close to the body portion.

7. The resonator as recited in claim 6 , wherein the magnetic body contains a ferrite having a formula of MFe 2 O 4 , wherein M is a metal element.

8. The resonator as recited in claim 6 , wherein the magnetic body is ferrite plated.

9. A multilayer board comprising:

one or more power planes, the power planes including one predetermined power plane;

one or more ground planes, the ground planes including one predetermined ground plane which is apart from the predetermined power plane in an up-down direction; and

at least one resonator connected to a first plane, the resonator having a connecting portion and a body portion,

wherein the connecting portion is connected to the first plane, and extends in the up-down direction beyond a second plane while not being in electrical contact with the second plane,

wherein the body portion is connected to the connecting portion while not being in contact with the second plane, and the body portion is arranged so that the second plane is located between the body portion and the first plane in the up-down direction,

wherein the first plane and the second plane are apart from each other in the up-down direction, and the first plane is one of the predetermined power plane and the predetermined ground plane and the second plane is the other of the predetermined power plane and the predetermined ground plane,

wherein the resonator is configured to operate as a stub, and

wherein the body portion of the resonator includes a loss component which receives power from the predetermined power plane and attenuates high frequency power while preventing loss of direct-current power.

10. The multilayer board as recited in claim 9 , wherein the at least one resonator comprises a plurality of the resonators.

11. An electronic device comprising the multilayer board as recited in claim 9 .
