A center conductor having a length L1, which is equivalent in electrical
length to one quarter wavelength, and ground conductors disposed on the
opposite sides of the center conductor with a gap portion therebetween in
coplanar manner are formed on a dielectric substrate. The center
conductor and the ground conductors located on the opposite sides
thereof, and are connected together by shorting ends. This results in the
formation of corner areas, respectively, whereby obtaining a coplanar
waveguide resonator. An edge line of the shorting end is recessed to have
a curve configuration so that each corner area has an angle greater than
90 degrees, which reduces power current concentration at the corner
points in the respective corner areas.
