Abstract: A high-frequency coupler includes a ground, a coupling electrode which faces the ground and is supported so as to be separated by a negligible height with respect to the wavelength of a high-frequency signal, and a resonating unit for increasing a current flowing into the coupling electrode via a transmission path, in which the coupling electrode has bent portions in places where charges with a first polarity are accumulated so that charges with a second polarity are gathered in a front face when the high-frequency signal is input to the coupling electrode and a standing wave occurs, and an infinitesimal dipole is formed, and the high-frequency signal is transmitted toward a high-frequency coupler of a communication partner side arranged to face each other so that the angle ? formed in the direction of the infinitesimal dipole is substantially 0 degrees.

Abstract: A high-frequency coupler includes a ground, a coupling electrode which faces the ground and is supported so as to be separated by a negligible height with respect to a high-frequency signal, a resonating unit for increasing a current flowing into the coupling electrode, a supporting unit which is connected to the resonating unit, and a short-circuiting unit which short-circuits the tip portions of the coupling electrode, in which an infinitesimal dipole constituted by a line connecting the center of the charges accumulated in the coupling electrode and the center of mirror-image charges accumulated in the ground is formed, and the high-frequency signal is transmitted toward a high-frequency coupler of a communication partner so that the angle ? formed in the direction of the infinitesimal dipole is substantially 0 degrees.

Abstract: A RF array coil system and method for magnetic resonance imaging are provided. The array coil system includes an anterior coil section having a main anterior coil section and at least one secondary anterior coil section removably attachable to the main anterior coil section. The array coil system further includes a posterior coil section having a main posterior coil section and at least one secondary posterior coil section removably attachable to the main posterior coil section.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a resonator assembly (1) comprising a helix resonator (2) consisting of a conductor wound as a cylindrical coil, and a housing (4) at least partly made conductive material and enveloping the helix resonator. In order to provide a resonator assembly with a better Q factor without the resonator assembly consequently significantly increasing in size, the conductor forming the cylindrical coil (2) continues as a straight conductor part (3), which extends from the cylindrical coil (2) substantially in the direction of the longitudinal axis (7) of the cylindrical coil, whereby said straight part constitutes a coaxial resonator. Further, a housing (4) envelopes the resonator formed by a combination of the helix resonator (2) and the coaxial resonator (3).

Abstract: A structure for guiding millimeter wave radiation employs a resonant coplanar transmission line on a transparent substrate. A very short, picosecond, pulse is generated on the transmission line. By having the upper half plane air, the pulse will radiate into the substrate and be guided as millimeter wave from a distributed source and formed as a point source of radiation.

Abstract: A high frequency oscillator comprising a ring type inductive resonator of a microstrip line constituted in a rectangular or annular loop. Capacitors are serially connected to both ends of the line, thereby improving the low-noise, separation and stability characteristics by use of the steep-phase characteristic of the ring-shaped resonator.
