Hiroyuki Nakamatsu has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6995636
    Abstract: A small in-band-flat-group-delay type dielectric filter having low-loss characteristics with a small amplitude deviation and uniform-group-delay frequency characteristics is obtained, which enables broad-band characteristics to be obtained easily. The in-band-flat-group-delay type dielectric filter includes a plurality of dielectric coaxial resonators, a coupling circuit comprising a combination of reactive elements, with which the dielectric coaxial resonators are coupled to one another, and input/output terminals connected to ends of the coupling circuit. The dielectric coaxial resonators coupled to the input/output terminals are allowed to have a different characteristic impedance from that of the inter-stage dielectric coaxial resonators.
    Type: Grant
