  • Patent number: 7373171
    Abstract: A front end module comprises a diplexer, a first duplexer, and a second duplexer. The first duplexer is connected to the diplexer through a first high frequency switch and separates transmission signals and reception signals of the N-CDMA from each other. The second duplexer is connected to the diplexer through a second high frequency switch and separates transmission signals and reception signals of the W-CDMA from each other. Each of the duplexers includes acoustic wave elements. A single multi-layer substrate for integration is used to integrate the components of the front end module. The diplexer is made up of a conductor layer located inside or on the surface of the multi-layer substrate.

    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a high-frequency module whose production yield as a complete module can be prevented from being lowered. The high-frequency module according to the present invention includes a main module including a first high-frequency circuit at least a part of which is constituted by a conductive pattern built in a multi-layered substrate and a sub-module including a second high-frequency circuit, and the sub-module is inserted into a cavity formed in the main module. According to the present invention, the main module including the first high-frequency circuit and the sub-module including the second high-frequency circuit are constituted as separate components and the main module and the sub-module are integrated by inserting the sub-module into the cavity formed in the main module. Therefore, it is possible to use only a main module and sub-module that have been inspected after manufacture and found to be non-defective.

  • Patent number: 5523729
    Abstract: A multilayer band pass filter includes a zero point forming capacitor formed by a plurality of capacitors connected in series between first and second extension electrodes, and intermediate capacitors connected between each pair of adjacent series capacitors and the open end of a core conductor. Therefore, zero points can be formed at the lower and upper limits of a given band. The capacity of these capacitors is adjustable via extension electrodes which extend outside the baked ceramic casing, thereby allowing adjustment to be made to the zero point.

  • Patent number: 5311159
    Abstract: A tri-plate line is constructed from a resonance element formed by intervening dielectrics between one pair of ground conductors (6). The length of the line is adjusted to about 1/4 wave-length. Then, a bandpass filter is formed by combining a plurality of resonators (5) of which one end is grounded. Each of the resonators (5) is separated by separators (9) so that waveguide mode propagation in the tri-plate line is prevented from occurring. A plurality of the tri-plate lines are piled up. The electromagnetic coupling of the resonators in different layers with each other are conducted by means of coupling means (7) formed in the dielectric and the ground conductor. The resonators disposed at both ends are coupled with input/output terminals (1,2), respectively.
