  • Patent number: 8040208
    Abstract: A passive part includes a filter unit having first resonance electrode to a third resonance electrode and an impedance matching circuit unit electrically connected to the third resonance electrode of the filter unit arranged on a dielectric substrate. The entire passive part has a configuration including a circuit unit equivalent to characteristic containing the second impedance matching circuit by an impedance component of the third resonance electrode. For example, by modifying the width of the third resonance electrode, it is possible to adjust the impedance in the same way as when a capacitance as the impedance matching circuit unit is connected, without connecting any capacitance.

  • Patent number: 7800465
    Abstract: A passive component is provided with a filter section employing a nonequilibrium input/output system, which has an input side resonator connected to a nonequilibrium input terminal, and an output side resonator coupled with the input side resonator; and a converting section having two double line coupled lines. An output stage of the filter section is connected with an input stage of the converting section through a first capacitor, and an input stage of the filter section is connected with the input stage of the converting section through a second capacitor. Namely, the second capacitor functions as a jump capacitor. The position of an attenuation pole is permitted to be adjusted by a second capacitor in a region low in frequency characteristics.

  • Patent number: 5283800
    Abstract: A metal vapor laser apparatus has a gas supply device. The device supplies at least two kinds of gases to a container of the laser apparatus controlled individually. One of the gases is selected from the group of the molecular gas such as hydrogen gas, the other is selected from the group of rare gas such as neon gas. By adjusting the mixture ratio of these gases, the laser beam output is obtained efficiently. The molecular gas should be supplied when a metal lump, such as copper, arranged in the container is melting.
