  • Publication number: 20070229201
    Abstract: In a filter circuit, a conductor layer is formed on one side of a dielectric substrate, and a resonator pattern of resonators, input and sections are formed of micro strip lines on the other side of the dielectric substrate. A transmission line coupling the resonators and is also formed of a micro strip line on the other side. An open stub branches off from the transmission line, and the electric length of this open stub is set to an integral multiple of a half-wave length of a resonance wave length corresponding to a resonance frequency of the filter.

  • Patent number: 7248846
    Abstract: An amplifier comprises a first amplifier circuit which amplifies a first signal to output an amplified first signal, a circuit which outputs a second signal corresponding to a difference between the first signal and the amplified first signal, a second amplifier circuit which amplifies the second signal to output an amplified second signal, a combine circuit which outputs an amplified signal by combining the amplified second signal with the amplified first signal, and a controller which controls a supply of a power to the first amplifier circuit and the second amplifier circuit and has a first mode to supply the power to the second amplifier circuit without supplying the power to the first amplifier circuit.

  • Publication number: 20070149159
    Abstract: In a filter circuit, resonators is connected in parallel between input and output terminal, an input signal is input through the input terminal and supplied to the resonators. Signal generators are connected to the resonators to control the resonators. The signal generators are controlled by a control unit so that the resonators are resonated to generate resonance signals at different resonant frequencies and at predetermined resonance phases. Thus, the output signal is set within a desired frequency range.

  • Publication number: 20070111673
    Abstract: In a radio apparatus, the band of a loop filter of a synthesizer in a blank channel searching state is narrower than the band in a communicating state. In addition, a radio wave environment is measured. A characteristic necessary for the radio apparatus is determined corresponding to the measured-radio wave environment. The power is controlled corresponding to the performance of the radio apparatus. Thus, the power consumption is decreased. In addition, the efficiency of the output power is improved. In the radio apparatus, the current consumption of a power amplifier PA is measured. A matching circuit (LNA or MIX) of the antenna is adjusted with the measured result so as to decrease an antenna loss. In the radio apparatus, a DC offset is removed from the transmitted power and the reflected wave. When the DC offset is removed using an AC coupling capacitor, the deterioration of the frequency characteristic of the receiving portion is compensated with a capacitor in a digital signal process.

  • Patent number: 7215225
    Abstract: A superconductor filter comprises a plurality of resonance elements arranged between input-output lines formed on a substrate. Metal conductor sections serving to inhibit the spatial coupling between the adjacent resonance elements are arranged between prescribed resonance elements, and a prescribed resonance element is coupled with another resonance element by a coupling transmission line. It follows that each resonance element is coupled with another resonance element by the direct coupling via the coupling transmission line or by the spatial coupling via the space.
