  • Publication number: 20160112009
    Abstract: A PA module (10) includes multiple amplifying elements (11a, 11b) and a variable filter circuit (12). The amplifying elements (11a, 11b) amplify a transmission signal in a frequency range including multiple communication bands and are cascade-connected to each other. The variable filter circuit (12) is connected between the amplifying elements (11a, 11b). The variable filter circuit (12) uses a transmission band corresponding to a used communication band selected from the multiple communication bands as a pass band and a reception band corresponding to the used communication band as an attenuation band.

    Abstract: A cylindrical coating nozzle having a flattened end is placed above a coating object being rotated. A coating solution is applied to a surface of the coating object by discharging the coating solution form a nozzle orifice at an end of the coating nozzle while moving the coating nozzle relative to the coating object in a direction intersecting a rotational direction of the coating object. The coating nozzle is formed with an angled notch at a part of the end thereof. A rotation control unit controls the rotation of the coating nozzle in a manner that the notch of the coating nozzle is positioned upstream from a position to feed the coating solution to the coating object being rotated.
