Abstract:
Substrate arrangements useful for high-performance radio-frequency planar circuits and antennas eliminate excitation of parallel-plate or surface-wave radiations. By eliminating such radiation which escapes sideways through the substrates, the loss of valuable power carried away by these radiations can be avoided, and/or complications resulting from these radiations (e.g., in the form or electromagnetic interference, cross-talk between circuit components or poor signal integrity) can be avoided. A new type of substrate layer is embedded with thin conducting wires that are closely packed and oriented normal to the substrate layering. These conducting wires change the substrate behavior in a unique way. Such new substrate layers may be used in slotline/coplanar waveguide circuits and microstrip antennas to achieve high-performance radio-frequency operations.

The electronic device is provided with a wiring board, a piezoelectric element (electronic component) which is mounted on an upper surface (front surface) of the wiring board so as to make its functional surface (major surface) face the upper surface, and a resin part which is adhered to a side surfaces of the piezoelectric element and to the wiring board and seals a facing space between the upper surface of the wiring board and the functional surface of the piezoelectric element. Further, the resin part is recessed in shape relative to the facing space.
Abstract:
A composite electronic component includes a metal component with a wide surface terminal, a printed circuit board with a wide surface mounting pad; and a plurality of small area solder films partitioned into small sectioned regions. The small sectioned regions are sectioned by grid-shaped solder resist banks on the wide surface mounting pad. A cream solder is applied on the individual small sectioned regions to form the plurality of small area solder films. The grid-shaped solder resist bank has a width configured to: reduce a bubble that occurs in the sectioned region at one side of the grid-shaped solder resist bank from merging with a bubble that occurs in the sectioned region at another side of the grid-shaped solder resist bank; and act as an escaping route for a bubble that occur in the small area solder film.

An electronic component package has a base in the shape of a rectangle as viewed from the top, and a metal lid. A terminal electrode on a base bottom surface and a circuit substrate are joined using a conductive adhesive material. In the electronic component package, a first terminal electrode group including two or more terminal electrodes formed in parallel is formed eccentrically to one corner position of the base bottom surface, and a single second terminal electrode, or a second terminal electrode group including two or more terminal electrodes formed in parallel, is formed eccentrically only to a first diagonal position diagonally opposite the one corner position. Also, no-electrode regions in which no terminal electrode is formed along a short side of the base are provided at another corner position facing the one corner position in a short side direction of the base, and a second diagonal position diagonally opposite the other corner position. At least one of the terminal electrodes is a ground terminal electrode connected to the metal lid.

Abstract:
A ball grid array resonator for use as, for example, a high “Q” inductive element in the tank circuit of a voltage controlled oscillator. The resonator comprises a ceramic substrate including opposed top and bottom surfaces, each having a continuous strip of conductive material formed thereon and, in one embodiment, at least two conductive vias which extend through the substrate and electrically interconnect the respective strips of conductive material to define a continuous and elongate path or transmission line for an RF signal. The respective strips of conductive material may be spiral-shaped, hook-shaped, serpentine-shaped, or otherwise suitably shaped depending upon the desired application. Conductive balls/spheres on the bottom surface define RF signal input/output pads and ground pads adapted for electrical connection to the printed circuit board or substrate of, for example, a voltage controlled oscillator.
