  • Patent number: 6559729
    Abstract: A miniaturized oscillator that is manufactured with greatly reduced production time and cost includes transmission lines defining resonance circuits provided on a circuit assembly board. In this state, the impedance of each transmission line is measured. Then, according to the transmission line impedance, chip components having impedances necessary to obtain a predetermined frequency are selected and mounted on the circuit substrate. With this arrangement and method of formation, the resulting oscillator oscillates at the desired oscillation frequency and it is not necessary to trim the transmission lines in order to achieve this result. Since the oscillator does not require time to make frequency adjustments and does require use of a trimming apparatus, no deterioration in the electric characteristics due to laser trimming occurs. In addition, it is unnecessary to provide an electrode land for making frequency adjustments. As a result, the entire oscillator is miniaturized.

  • Patent number: 6456169
    Abstract: A voltage-controlled oscillator has a frequency of oscillation that is varied using a substrate on which the same circuit pattern as that of the voltage-controlled oscillator is printed. In a resonant circuit included in the voltage-controlled oscillator, a first land is arranged substantially parallel to an inductor. A second land is arranged substantially parallel to the inductor and to a variable-capacitance diode. The capacitances of capacitors attached to the first land and second land are changed in order to vary the frequency of oscillation of the voltage-controlled oscillator. The frequency of oscillation can be varied without the necessity of scraping the inductor through which a major signal passes. Therefore, electrical characteristics of the voltage-controlled oscillator are not degraded and the frequency of oscillation is very steady. The frequency of oscillation can be varied merely by changing the capacitances of the capacitors attached to the first and second lands.

  • Patent number: 6388517
    Abstract: An input change-over amplifier is capable of effecting a change-over in outputting two signals having different frequencies, without lowering the signal levels thereof. Two signals having different frequencies are fed into two input terminals of an amplifying element. When a signal is input through one input terminal, the other input terminal is grounded. When a signal is input through the other input terminal, the above one input terminal is grounded. In this way, it is possible to effect a change-over in outputting two signals having different frequencies, without lowering the signal levels thereof. Further, since two signals can be fed into an amplifying element through different paths, it is not necessary to provide a matching circuit at a connection point of signal paths. Therefore, the number of required electronic parts can be reduced, an oscillator which is compact in size can be manufactured, and a necessary circuit can be designed within only a short time.

    Abstract: A resonance inductor of a resonant circuit is formed of a chip inductor and an inductance fine adjustment pattern. A resonance capacitor is formed of a plurality of chip layered capacitors connected in parallel to each other via connection patterns formed on a substrate. The connection patterns are sequentially disconnected to adjust the capacitance of the resonance capacitor. Then, the inductance fine adjustment pattern is partially removed to adjust the inductance of the resonance inductor.

  • Patent number: 5576667
    Abstract: An inexpensive voltage control type oscillator suitable for use with a mobile radio communication system within a predetermined frequency band range. The oscillator includes a resonance circuit and an oscillation stage formed on a printed wiring board and operating such that the oscillation frequency of the oscillation stage is varied within a predetermined frequency band range by varying the resonance frequency of a parallel resonance circuit included in the oscillation stage on the basis of a control voltage. The parallel circuit comprises a strip line connected in series with a bias resistor and a chip capacitor connected parallel to the strip line. The strip line has an inductance sufficiently larger than that of the resistor and the chip capacitor has a capacitance value so determined that the capacitor resonates at a predetermined frequency in cooperation with the strip line.

    Abstract: In a voltage-controlled oscillation circuit, a parallel resonance circuit which is formed by connecting a coil (an inductive element) and a capacitor (a capacitive element) in parallel with each other is provided between a control terminal and a resonance circuit. A control voltage is inputted at the control terminal and is supplied to the resonance circuit through the parallel resonance circuit, so that the resonance frequency of the resonance circuit is responsive to the control voltage; an oscillation stage of the voltage-controlled oscillation circuit oscillates at that resonance frequency. The oscillation output of the oscillation stage is outputted at an output terminal from a buffer stage through an output matching stage.
