Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of preparing an aminimide. An epoxy compound is reacted with a hydrazine compound comprising a trivalent nitrogen, and an anhydride functional material or a cyclic compound containing a carbonyl group and at least one heteroatom alpha to the carbonyl group at a temperature greater than 20° C. to form the aminimide. At least one of the epoxy compound and the anhydride functional material or the cyclic compound is polymeric.

Abstract: As such, in the disclosure, a slit is formed in a side plate. The slit has an opening in the upper end surface of the side plate. The opening has a width which is smaller than a thickness of the side plate and enables to correspond to a thickness t of the substrate and a length which enables to correspond to a length a of one side of the substrate. An RF antenna module is housed in the slit formed in the side plate of the housing to be accommodated in the housing by inserting the one side of the substrate through the opening of the slit, which is formed in the upper end surface of the side plate, and inserting the substrate into the slit by an amount equal to or larger than a length of another side of the substrate.

Abstract: In a multilayer substrate (2), an internal ground layer (11) is provided at a position between insulating layers (4) and (5) and a radiating element (13) is provided at a position between insulating layers (3) and (4). A first coplanar line (7) is connected to an intermediate position of the radiating element (13) in an X-axis direction, and a second coplanar line (9) is connected to an intermediate position of the radiating element (13) in a Y-axis direction. A passive element (16) is laminated on the upper surface of the radiating element (13) through the insulating layer (3). The passive element (16) is formed in a cross shape in which a first patch (16A) extending in the X-axis direction and a second patch (16B) extending in the Y-axis direction are orthogonal to each other.

Abstract: In a multilayer substrate, eight front-side antenna portions and eight back-side antenna portions are disposed. Front-side radiation elements in the front-side antenna portions and back-side radiation elements in the back-side antenna portions are arranged in a staggered pattern when being vertically projected onto an back side of the multilayer substrate. The front-side radiation elements are disposed on a front side of the multilayer substrate, and a front-side ground layer is formed near the back side of the multilayer substrate. On the other hand, the back-side radiation elements are disposed on the back side of the multilayer substrate, and a back-side ground layer is formed near the front side of the multilayer substrate. The front-side radiation element and the back-side radiation element are disposed so as not to overlap each other when being vertically projected onto the back side of the multilayer substrate.

Abstract: Two high frequency antennas are provided in a multilayer substrate. Each high frequency antenna is configured of a radiation element, a high frequency power supply line, and a high frequency power supply unit. A low frequency antenna is configured of a series radiation element, a low frequency power supply line, and a lower frequency power supply unit. The series radiation element is formed of two radiation elements connected by a radiation element connection line.
