Patent number: 7855450Abstract: In a circuit module for a high frequency, a resistance film is formed on a side of a semiconductor circuit chip, mounted above a dielectric substrate through ground metal layers, opposite to the dielectric substrate. A distance from the ground metal layer to the resistance film is a ¼ wavelength at a predetermined frequency, and the resistance film has a sheet resistance equal to a characteristic impedance of air. A second dielectric substrate with the metal layer formed on a side opposite to the resistance film can be mounted. When being adhered to the second dielectric substrate, the resistance film has a characteristic impedance determined by a permittivity of a material of the semiconductor circuit chip. When being formed in space from the semiconductor circuit chip, the resistance film has a sheet resistance equal to a characteristic impedance of air. The thickness of the second dielectric substrate is a ¼ wavelength in a desired frequency.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2006Date of Patent: December 21, 2010Assignees: Fujitsu Limited, Eudyna Devices, Inc.Inventors: Toshihiro Shimura, Yoji Ohashi, Mitsuji Nunokawa

Patent number: 6822528Abstract: Disclosed are planar structures for coupling electromagnetic signals between planar transmission lines and waveguides. A preferred exemplary structure comprises a shielded patch antenna and one or more capacitive diaphragms disposed adjacent to the patch antenna. This structure is advantageous to MMIC modules in connecting from a planar transmission line of a substrate carrying an MMIC to an external waveguide without the need of a non-planar back metal short, which is normally essential to avoid back scattering from the waveguide and also normally needed to achieve impedance matching. In structures according to the present invention, a patch antenna radiates into the waveguide while the antenna's ground plane reduces back scattering from the waveguide. The one or more capacitive diaphragms provide impedance matching between the microstrip and the waveguide.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2001Date of Patent: November 23, 2004Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Debasis Dawn, Edmar Camargo, Yoji Ohashi

Patent number: 5381153Abstract: A FM-CW radar device is provided for frequency-modulating a high frequency signal with a modulation signal, transmitting the modulated high frequency signal, receiving a signal reflected by a target object and frequency-modulating the reflection signal with a signal generated by a local oscillator signal source provided by branching a portion of the transmitting signal. A modulator is disposed between a radar transmitting section and a transmitting antenna. The modulator modulates the transmitting signal with a second frequency which is far lower than the radar transmitting frequency and twice as much as the sum or the difference of a Doppler frequency generated by a relative propagation velocity and a beat frequency generated by a propagation delay time. A first frequency converter frequency modulates the received signal reflected by the target object with the local oscillator.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 1994Date of Patent: January 10, 1995Assignees: Fujitsu Limited, Fujitsu Ten LimitedInventors: Tamio Saito, Teruhisa Ninomiya, Yoji Ohashi, Yoshihiro Kawasaki, Naofumi Okubo, Hiroshi Kurihara, Osamu Isaji
