  • Patent number: 10951258
    Abstract: A waveguide unit includes an interface unit configured to receive a transmission radio wave f1TX1 output from a transmission/reception processing unit, and output a reception radio wave f1RX1 to the transmission/reception processing unit. Further, the waveguide unit includes a transmission wave input port, a transmission wave output port, a reception wave input port, and a reception wave output port. Further, the waveguide unit includes a reception band-pass filter configured to pass the reception radio wave f1RX1 of a multiplex reception radio wave input to the reception wave input port and output the reception radio wave f1RX1 toward the interface unit, and, on the other hand, reflect a reception radio wave f1RX2 and output the reception radio wave f1RX2 toward the reception wave output port.

  • Patent number: 9590285
    Abstract: Provided is a bandpass filter (10), including: a filter casing (17) defining a rectangular waveguide (11) having a narrow plane (a) and a broad plane (b); a metal plate (12) having a ladder shape and being arranged in a sandwiched manner inside the filter casing (17) at a center of the broad plane (b) so as to be parallel to the narrow plane (a); a dielectric plate (13) positioned in a vicinity of the metal plate (12); a support rod (14) extending in parallel to a longitudinal direction of the rectangular waveguide (11), the support rod (14) being rotatably supported on the filter casing (17) and configured to support the dielectric plate (13); and a first gear (15) fixed at a tip of the support rod (14). The dielectric plate (13) is rotated along with rotation of the first gear (15), to thereby adjust a bandpass frequency.

  • Patent number: 9166278
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to reduce the cost of a product while ensuring reliability of the product as a wireless transmission/reception apparatus. Provided is communication apparatus (ODU) (1) installed outside, which includes a case that houses a transmission unit for transmitting a signal and a reception unit for receiving the signal, and a waveguide connected to an external antenna and configured to receive/transmit a signal. In the apparatus, the waveguide is formed integrally with the case, and taper (16) is formed in a part of the tube hole of the waveguide.
