Patent number: 5396433Abstract: Assembling and checking microwave circuit modules is accomplished by storing results of checks of active elements after the manufacture, determining a combination of active elements according to the stored results or data, calculating the characteristic value of the determined combination according to the results of checks of the active elements in the combination, computing, if the calculated characteristic value is out of a predetermined range, a content and an amount of adjustment to be made in a substrate so as to correct the characteristic value to be in the predetermined range, and adjusting the substrate according to the result of computation. By selecting an appropriate combination, the chips whose characteristic value falls outside of the predetermined range are saved from being discarded, so that a low cost microwave circuit module can be obtained at a high overall yield.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 1994Date of Patent: March 7, 1995Assignee: NEC CorporationInventor: Yuhei Kosugi

Patent number: 4633118Abstract: A microwave switch with mechanical contacts which is applicable to a microwave band or a millimeter-wave band and shortens a switching time. An axial displacement of an electroexpansive element (36) caused by a voltage which is applied from the outside is magnified by two levers (38.sub.1, 38.sub.2). A pair of leaf springs (48.sub.1, 48.sub.2) are moved parallel to and in opposite directions to each other responsive to the magnified displacement of the electroexpansive element (36), so that a connecting member (50) which is connected to the leaf springs (48.sub.1, 48.sub.2) is driven in a rotational motion. In response to the rotational motion of the member (50), another leaf spring (52) connected to the member (50) moves two movable rods (31.sub.1, 32.sub.2 ) and, thereby, center conductors (30.sub.1, 30.sub.2) carried respectively by the rods (32.sub.1, 32.sub.2) in opposite directions to each other. This allows a stationary common contact (28.sub.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 1985Date of Patent: December 30, 1986Assignee: NEC CorporationInventor: Yuhei Kosugi
