Abstract: A high-frequency module includes a longitudinally coupled surface acoustic wave filter and a low-noise amplifier that is connected to the surface acoustic wave filter. The input impedance of the surface acoustic wave filter connected to the low-noise amplifier differs from the output impedance thereof.

Abstract: A method of producing a novel deeply creped fabric by using partially bulked yarn. Gyratory (or torque-imparted) partially bulked yarn obtained from a known twisting - heat setting - untwisting process is additionally twisted, or said process is conducted on the pre-twisted yarn to give extra twists to the non-bulked portions, so as to make conspicuous the difference between the bulked and non-bulked portions, and a fabric is woven or knit by using such yarn and is subjected to a creping treatment.
