  • Patent number: 10470258
    Abstract: High frequency heating device is provided with heater disposed adjacent to mount base on which object to be heated is mounted and having a plurality of surface wave transmission lines electrically isolated from each other, and first and second high frequency power generators, each of which generates high frequency power having different frequency. Surface wave transmission lines receive at least one of the high frequency power generated by first high frequency power generator and the high frequency power generated by second high frequency power generator. According to this aspect, interference between the high frequency powers is not occurred and electromagnetic field coupling is not occurred. As a result, in the high frequency heating device provided with the surface wave transmission line using a periodic structure, uneven baking caused by the electromagnetic field coupling can be suppressed, and a heating state of an object to be heated can be easily controlled.

  • Patent number: 8796593
    Abstract: A radio-frequency heating apparatus includes a radio-frequency power generation unit (120), variable phase shift units (142a to 142d) that change a phase of a radio-frequency power generated by the radio-frequency power generation unit (120), radio-frequency power units (140a to 140d), and a control unit (110) that sets a frequency for the radio-frequency power generation unit (120) and a phase shift amount for the variable phase shift units (142a to 142d). Backward power detection units in the radio-frequency power units (140a to 140d) individually detect a reflected power and a through power at the frequency set for the radio-frequency power generation unit (120) by the control unit (110), and the control unit (110) determines a frequency for the radio-frequency power generation unit (120) and a phase shift amount for the variable phase shift units (142a to 142d) for heating the object, on the basis of the detected amplitude and phase of the reflected wave and the through wave.

  • Patent number: 8306499
    Abstract: A digital television broadcast receiving section (100) of a mobile telephone terminal includes an antenna (101), a notch filter (102), a low-pass filter (LPF) (103), a low noise amplifier (LNA) (104), a receiving IC (105), a control section (107), and an input section (108). A passband for digital television broadcast is divided into several parts. The control section (107) switches a characteristic of each of the notch filter (102) and the LPF (103) so as to combine filters appropriate for a low-band channel or a high-band channel. Thus, frequencies in a mobile telephone transmission frequency band of the mobile telephone terminal, and frequencies in a band of other systems, the frequencies in these band being interfering waves, are largely attenuated, and at the same time, frequencies in the passband which is a frequency band for digital television broadcast are allowed to pass with low loss.
