  • Patent number: 9136576
    Abstract: A connecting structure of a waveguide converter includes a circuit substrate in which a hollow waveguide that propagates a high frequency signal is formed in a pierced manner; and an antenna substrate that is layered on the circuit substrate, and in which a converter that is arranged at a connecting point with the hollow waveguide and a strip line that extends from the converter and that propagates the high frequency signal are provided. A choke circuit to shield a leak of the high frequency signal is arranged around the hollow waveguide on a surface of the circuit substrate opposing to the antenna substrate so as to surround the hollow waveguide keeping a predetermined interval from the hollow waveguide, and the circuit substrate and the antenna substrate are fixed to each other by adhesive that is arranged at a position outside the choke circuit, between the substrates.

  • Patent number: 8040286
    Abstract: A high-frequency module has an antenna configured by integrally connecting a slot plate laid out with radiation slots to a plate having plural thin plates formed with a waveguide for supplying power to the slot plate, using a diffusion bonding. The waveguide of the antenna is connected to a dielectric waveguide of a high-frequency package via a waveguide provided on a resin substrate, thereby configuring a slot antenna at low cost, and connecting a power-supply slot of the slot antenna to a waveguide terminal of the high-frequency package with low loss.

  • Patent number: 7928923
    Abstract: In an antenna apparatus, at least one choke in the form of a groove is arranged between a transmitting antenna and a receiving antenna. The choke functions to suppress the mutual electromagnetic coupling between the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna. The depth of the choke is in a range from 0.15, to less than 0.225? where ? is a wavelength of a carrier wave.

  • Patent number: 5051753
    Abstract: An array antenna system having a predetermined electric current distribution on an antenna aperture to form a desired shape of antenna beam. Active antenna elements arranged on the aperture transmit a signal for electronically scanning a predetermined region to detect a target and receive a signal reflected by the target. Passive antenna elements are also arranged on the aperture. The antenna system further includes a direction finding section including reception antenna elements which receive an incident signal. The active, passive and reception antenna elements are positioned to allow a predetermine electric current distribution to be established on the antenna aperture.
