  • Publication number: 20230076829
    Abstract: A radio frequency module is provided that includes a plurality of power amplifiers, an external connection terminal, a filter, and a switch. The amplifiers include a first power amplifier and a second power amplifier. The external connection terminal is connected to a tracker component configured to supply a power supply voltage to the power amplifiers. Moreover, the filter is not disposed on a first path between the external connection terminal and the first power amplifier, but instead it is disposed on a second path between the external connection terminal and the second power amplifier. The switch is configured to switch connection to the external connection terminal between the first path and the second path.

  • Publication number: 20220094376
    Abstract: Improved is the isolation in a case in which a circuit element provided in a signal path for a transmission signal and a circuit element provided in a signal path for a reception signal are mounted on the same main surface of a mounting substrate. A radio frequency module includes the mounting substrate, a first, a second, and a third circuit elements, and a plurality of external connection terminals. The second circuit element and the third circuit element are mounted on a second main surface of the mounting substrate and are provided in signal paths for transmission and reception signals. The plurality of external connection terminals is arranged on the second main surface of the mounting substrate. The plurality of external connection terminals includes a ground terminal positioned between the second circuit element and the third circuit element in a plan view from a thickness direction of the mounting substrate.

  • Patent number: 9440005
    Abstract: A substrate for feeding cells and/or tissues which is composed of a porous body having a thin film surface and a porous surface and which can be used in the regenerative medical techniques. A cell/tissue feeder is produced by cultivating tissues on the porous surface of the porous body. Cells are seeded on the porous surface of the body, followed by the cultivation of the cells to thus form and/or regenerate tissues. An aqueous solution of silk proteins, to which a water-soluble organic solvent is added, is introduced into a mold whose bottom or top surface is surface-roughened, followed by freezing the aqueous solution and then thawing the frozen aqueous solution to form a porous body having a thin film surface and a porous surface.
