Abstract:
A small-sized and high-performance mechanical vibration filter adapted to a high-frequency band. A mechanical adapter is made up of a microcylindrical beam (5) to increase the mechanical resonance frequency, and the microcylindrical beams (5) are arranged in an array. Common sensing electrodes (6) are disposed around the microcylindrical beams (5) with predetermined intervals to suppress a fall of an output signal. The vibration of a part of the mechanical vibrators is constricted to enable the observation and removal of the noise component accompanying the direct electromagnetic coupling from the input signal to the output signal.
Abstract:
A resonator, a filter, an oscillator, a duplexer, and a communication apparatus employing these devices have improved efficiency characteristics in confining an electromagnetic field in an opening of an electrode, suppressed current concentration, and minimized conductor loss. Electrode patterns (2' ) are formed near short-circuited positions in a slot (3) so that the slot (3) will be divided into smaller-width slot lines. Consequently, the efficiency in confining the electromagnetic field is improved, and conductor loss is minimized. In another embodiment, an opening (6) is defined within an electrode, and a plurality of electrode patterns (2') extend radially inwards from a periphery of the opening.
Abstract:
A radio frequency amplifier includes first and second amplifier circuits (8a,8b) with a waveguide filter (10) provided therebetween. With this arrangement, transmission loss is reduced and distortion of the amplifier circuits is reduced compared with conventional amplifiers. It is therefore possible to provide a high-performance radio frequency amplifier.
Abstract:
A low-radiation balanced microstrip bandpass filter is provided. A series of microstrip segments (50,52,54,56,58) are arranged on the surface of a substrate. The degree of coupling between adjacent pairs of segments is determined by the length of overlap between them. By always having pairs of segments, a very small far field radiation is achieved.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns an aperture antenna (20) that comprises: a receiving element (21), which includes an aperture (21a) and is configured to receive, through said aperture (21a), radio signals having frequencies comprised within a given band of radio frequencies (B 1 ); a waveguide (22) configured to receive radio signals from the receiving element (21); and a frequency selective structure, which is arranged between the receiving element (21) and the waveguide (22), and comprises metamaterial structures that extend partially inside the receiving element (21) and/or partially inside the waveguide (22) and that are configured to cause the propagation, from the receiving element (21) to the waveguide (22), of only the received radio signals that have frequencies comprised within a predetermined sub-band (B 2 ) of the given band of radio frequencies (B 1 ). Furthermore, the frequency selective structure is configured to reflect back into the receiving element (21) the received radio signals that have frequencies not comprised in the predetermined sub-band (B 2 ).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a waveguide tuning device (1) arranged for mounting in a waveguide structure (2) which has a longitudinal extension (L) and comprises a first inner wall (3), a second inner wall (4), a third inner wall (5) and a fourth inner wall. The inner walls are arranged such that a rectangular cross-section is obtained for the waveguide structure. The first inner wall (3) and the second inner wall (4) have a first length (b) and are facing each other. The third inner wall (5) and the fourth inner wall (6) have a second length (a) and are facing each other. The electrical field (E) is parallel to the main surfaces of the first inner wall (3) and the second inner wall (4). The tuning device (1) is electrically controllable and arranged for mounting at the first inner wall (3) and/or the second inner wall (4). The present invention also relates to a tunable waveguide structure.
