Abstract: A connector mounting structure on a circuit board is presented. A connector has a plurality of terminals comprising first terminals separated with a predetermined pitch and second terminals separated with a pitch larger than the predetermined pitch. The first and second terminals have respectively a first tail part facing toward the circuit board and a second tail part bent toward the circuit board after extending in the lateral direction from the connector housing. The first tail part is reflow-soldered to a land part formed on a surface of the circuit board, and the bent top end of the second tail part is inserted into a mounting hole penetrating another land part formed on the circuit board and reflow-soldered. In this mounting structure of the connector, it is simultaneously possible to narrow a pitch between terminals and to increase the peeling strength.

A connector has a plurality of terminals comprising a first terminal separated with a predetermined pitch and a second terminal separated with a pitch larger than the predetermined pitch. The first and second terminals have respectively a first tail part facing toward the circuit board and a second tail part bent on the circuit board side after extended in the lateral direction of the connector housing. The first tail part is reflow-soldered to a land part formed on the surface of the circuit board, and the bent top end of the second tail part is inserted into a mounting hole penetrating the other land part formed on the circuit board and reflow-soldered.

Abstract: A septum polarizer offering an exceptionally low axial ratio over a wide frequency band. A first trapped mode resonator or resonator pair is inserted in the circularly polarizing waveguide within the same plane as the septum and tuning screws to create a desired resonant response at a frequency lower than the cutoff frequency of the polarizer. Optionally, a second pair of trapped mode resonators is inserted in two opposing waveguide walls that are orthogonal to the septum, to create a desired resonant response at a higher frequency than the upper frequency limit of the polarizer. The resonators serve to flatten the phase response of the polarizer throughout its passband, thereby maximizing the purity of circularly polarized radiation produced thereby.
