  • Patent number: 9530437
    Abstract: A magnetic head has a magnetic head slider that includes a recording element that generates a recording signal magnetic field, a microwave magnetic field generating element that generates a microwave magnetic field, a terminal electrode, and a first transmission line that interconnects the terminal electrode and the microwave magnetic field generating element. A second transmission line is connected to the terminal electrode, the second transmission line being used to transmit a microwave signal from the outside of the magnetic head slider to the magnetic head slider. A capacitor connected to the first transmission line is provided between the terminal electrode and the microwave magnetic field generating element. Accordingly, in the magnetic head, a microwave signal is efficiently propagated.

  • Patent number: 9503035
    Abstract: There is provided a high-frequency amplifier including a divider, a plurality of amplifiers for amplifying a high-frequency signal distributed by the divider and outputting the amplified high-frequency signal, a combiner for combining amplified high-frequency signals, a base substrate, a conductor pattern that is connected to a ground end of each of the amplifiers, and a ground electrode. Each of the conductor patterns has a first conductive portion. A slot is disposed between the two conductor patterns connected to the corresponding adjacent amplifiers. Between the adjacent amplifiers, two vias are formed so that the slot is sandwiched between the vias. One of the two conductor patterns is connected to the ground electrode via one of the two vias, and the other one of the conductor patterns is connected to the ground electrode via the other one of the two vias.

  • Patent number: 9252716
    Abstract: A high-frequency amplifier circuit includes a balanced-unbalanced converter converting a single-ended signal into differential signals. The output of a first amplifier amplifying the single-ended signal is connected to the signal terminal on the unbalanced side of the balanced-unbalanced converter. The input of a second amplifier amplifying one of the differential signals is connected to one signal terminal on the balanced side of the balanced-unbalanced converter. The input of a third amplifier amplifying another of the differential signals is connected to another signal terminal on the balanced side of the balanced-unbalanced converter. An impedance element is inserted between an element on the balanced side of the balanced-unbalanced converter and a ground.

  • Patent number: 9184706
    Abstract: Since a high-frequency signal that is output from a high-frequency oscillator circuit section is detected in a detector circuit and a bias of a negative voltage is supplied from a bias circuit section to the high-frequency amplifier circuit section with a detection voltage that is detected, a negative power supply circuit such as a DC/DC converter or a peripheral circuit is not required, and since a negative bias voltage can be supplied to a high-frequency amplifier circuit, downsizing can be achieved with a low cost.

  • Patent number: 9099968
    Abstract: The problem to be solved is to alleviate the distortion characteristic of an amplifier and to prevent the drop in gain with respect to a low-level high-frequency signal. A bias control circuit (10) for controlling the bias of an amplifier (20) which amplifies a high-frequency signal is provided herein with a detector (11) for detecting the envelope of the high-frequency signal, a first bias circuit (12) for supplying a constant bias current to the amplifier (20) and a second bias circuit (14) for supplying a bias current that varies with the variation of the level of the envelope of the high-frequency signal to the amplifier.

  • Publication number: 20140070891
    Abstract: To prevent a wrap-around signal from an output detection circuit unit that occurs when commonality is achieved between the power supply of the output detection circuit unit and the bias power supply of a power amplification unit. When commonality is achieved between the power supply of a diode of an output detection circuit unit and the power supply of a bias circuit, a resonance circuit is connected between the bias circuit and the output detection circuit unit, thereby preventing a wrap-around signal from the output side of a power amplification transistor from being input to the input side of the power amplification transistor.
