Katsufumi Ehata 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: 11978941
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a bias tee circuit connected between a common terminal and power supply and signal terminals, the bias tee circuit includes a capacitor inserted between the common terminal and the signal terminal, and first and second inductors inserted in series between the common terminal and the power supply terminal. The first inductor is connected on a side of the common terminal. The second inductor is connected on a side of the power supply terminal. The second inductor is higher in self-resonance frequency and lower in Q value than the first inductor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 11, 2021
    Date of Patent: May 7, 2024
    Assignee: TDK CORPORATION
    Inventors: Shuhei Someya, Mitsuyuki Nara, Katsufumi Ehata, Shinichi Tsuchiya, Hirofumi Tomita, Yoshinobu Shimokura

  • Publication number: 20070085552
    Abstract: A relative dielectric constant of a mixed substance consisting of powders and a liquid medium is calculated, and then the relative dielectric constant of the mixed substance or a relative dielectric constant of the liquid medium is calculated as a relative dielectric constant of the powders when the relative dielectric constant of the mixed substance 18 becomes equal to a relative dielectric constant of the liquid medium. Therefore, the relative dielectric constant of the powders can be measured with high precision even in a high-frequency band in excess of several GHz.

  • Patent number: 7199591
    Abstract: A relative dielectric constant of a mixed substance consisting of powders and a liquid medium is calculated, and then the relative dielectric constant of the mixed substance or a relative dielectric constant of the liquid medium is calculated as a relative dielectric constant of the powders where the relative dielectric constant of the mixed substance becomes equal to a relative dielectric constant of the liquid medium. Therefore, the relative dielectric constant of the powders can be measured with high precision even in a high-frequency band in excess of several GHz.

  • Patent number: 7075314
    Abstract: An electromagnetic wave is input to a resonator 14 filled with a dielectric and a gas, and a resonance frequency, an insertion loss and a half-power width in the resonance mode of the electromagnetic wave output from the resonator 14 are measured by a network analyzer 16 in response to the input of the electromagnetic wave and the complex dielectric constant of the dielectric is calculated from the resonance frequency, the insertion loss and the half-power width which are thus measured.
