Abstract: One or more feedback elements generate a feedback signal in response to a transmitted signal outputted by each radiator of the antenna system. This feedback signal is received by each radiator, also described as a radiating element, and combined with any leakage signal present at the port of the antenna. Because the feedback signal and the leakage signal are set to the same frequency and are approximately 180 degrees out of phase, this signal summing operation serves to cancel both signals at the output port, thereby improving the port-to-port isolation characteristic of the antenna. Each feedback element can include a photo-etched planar metal strip supported by a planar dielectric card made from printed circuit board material. Such feedback elements can provide a high degree of repeatability and reliability in that the manufacturing of such feedback elements can be precisely controlled.

Abstract: In the first period from pumping start time T1 to time T2 in a laser light source 1, the power of pumping light L1 outputted from a pumping light source 41 so as to irradiate a laser medium 21 is at value P1 whereas the power of light L2 incident on a saturable absorber 30 after being emitted from the laser medium 21 is at an absorption saturation threshold or lower, which causes a resonator 10 to lower its Q-value, thereby suppressing the laser oscillation. Immediately before time T2, the power of light L2 is slightly lower than the absorption saturation threshold. In the second period subsequent to the first period, the power of light L2 is at value P2 greater than the above-mentioned value P1, whereas the power of light L2 exceeds the absorption saturation threshold, which causes the resonator 10 to increase its Q-value, whereby a mirror 12 outputs pulse laser light L3 to the outside.

Abstract: The present invention includes a method and system for producing radiation of a desired frequency with temperature invariance. Two or more radiation sources that produce an output are included. A temperature difference between the sources is sensed and a temperature difference signal is produced. A control unit controls a heat flux to one or more or between two or more of the sources based on the temperature difference signal. The control unit may provide the heat flux by self-heating by a supplied current or by heater/coolers. The outputs of the two or more radiation sources are mixed in or on a nonlinear medium. The mixing of the outputs produces beat frequencies and a desired beat frequency or frequencies may be selected by a resonant structure. The beat frequencies are invariant with fluctuations in ambient temperature.

Abstract: A light emitting device capable of performing signal electric current write-in operations at high speed and without dispersion in the characteristics of TFTs structuring pixels influencing the brightness of light emitting elements is provided. The gate length L of a transistor in which an electric current flows during write-in of a signal electric current is made shorter than the gate length L of a transistor in which electric current supplied to EL elements flows during light emission, and high speed write-in is thus performed by having a larger electric current flow than the electric current flowing in conventional EL elements. A converter and driver transistor (108) is used for signal write-in.

By way of a guide of an optical pickup base corresponding to the circumferential portions, the semiconductor laser device is mounted on the optical pickup base.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dielectric antenna, particularly suited to portable radio devices. The feed conductor (231) of the antenna is shaped so that it at the same time in itself serves as a radiator in the same frequency range as the dielectric resonator (220) of the antenna. The resonance frequencies of the feed conductor and the dielectric resonator are advantageously arranged to be so near to each other that there is formed a united operation band. The feed conductor is advantageously located on a surface (223) of the dielectric element. The structure may also include parasitic conductors. For the antenna according to the invention, there is obtained a larger bandwidth than for corresponding antennas of the prior art. Moreover, the air gaps between the feed conductor and the dielectric element are avoided, as well as resulting changes in the electric properties.

Abstract: A standard slow wave meander line having sections of alternating impedance relative to a conductor plate is provided with a top shield connected to the conductor plane for the purpose of lowering the resonant frequency of narrow band antennas and lowering the low frequency cutoff limit of wide band antennas due to a higher delay per unit length occasioned by the use of the top shield. The shielded meander line may be utilized as a coupling device to truncated antennas such as a whip antenna or grounded loop antenna for the purposes of loading the antenna so as to provide lower frequency performance. Since the propagation constant of the meander line structure depends upon the number of high impedance/low impedance transitions per unit length, the utilization of the top shield results in more phase shifts per unit length and thus more delay per unit length, with the symmetric double sided version having double the number of transitions per unit length.
