  • Patent number: 11303249
    Abstract: A consecutive Doherty amplifier is disclosed. The Doherty amplifier includes a carrier amplifier, a power splitter, a peak amplifier, and a phase compensator. The carrier amplifier receives a radio frequency signal with interposing any signal splitters. The power splitter splits an output of the carrier amplifier into first and second split signals. The phase compensator transfers the second split signal to the peak amplifier. The first split signal is combined with the output of the peak amplifier.

  • Patent number: 11267216
    Abstract: [Problem] To provide a polyimide film laminated substrate in which stable peeling with a constant low force from an inorganic substrate is enabled when a polyimide film is to be peeled from an inorganic substrate even after heat treatment at a temperature exceeding 500° C. is performed. [Solution] Silane coupling agent treatment is performed on an inorganic substrate on which a thin film of an aluminum oxide, a thin film of a composite oxide of aluminum and silicon, a thin film of molybdenum or tungsten, or an alloy thin film of molybdenum and tungsten is formed continuously or discontinuously on a part of at least one surface thereof, and a polyimide film layer is further laminated on the silane coupling agent layer. In the obtained laminate, the part where the aluminum oxide thin film layer is present functions as an easily-peelable layer, the part where no aluminum oxide thin film layer functions as an easily-bondable part.
