  • Publication number: 20240090331
    Abstract: A thermoelectric conversion material of the present disclosure is a p-type thermoelectric conversion material which includes an alloy containing Mg and Bi as a main phase and which contains carbon. The thermoelectric conversion material includes, for example, a Mg3(Sb,Bi)2-based alloy as the main phase. An atomic percentage of Bi included in the main phase is greater than or equal to an atomic percentage of Sb included in the main phase. The thermoelectric conversion material satisfies, for example, 0.01 at %?CC?1.2 at %, where CC represents a content ratio of carbon in the thermoelectric conversion material.

  • 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: 7756503
    Abstract: Heretofore, a plurality of packages were used in a high frequency module in which a plurality of waveguide terminals were positioned resulting in problems, such as degradation of characteristics in the connection lines between packages, lower ease of assembly when mounting and connecting the connection lines, increased cost, and so forth. To solve these problems, a plurality of cavities having a part or the entire side metallized is formed in a multi-layer dielectric substrate. The multi-layer dielectric substrate is provided with a plurality of waveguide terminals, microstrip line-waveguide converters, RF lines, bias and control signal wiring, and bias and control signal pads. A high frequency circuit is mounted within the cavity and sealed with a seal and cover. This is intended to reduce the number of package, improve performance, improve fabrication, and lower the cost.

  • Patent number: 7336221
    Abstract: A multilayer dielectric substrate includes a first signal via, a second signal via, an internal-layer signal line, an internal-layer ground conductor, and ground vias. The first signal via is connected to a bias-and-control-signal terminal of a high-frequency semiconductor, and is arranged within a region corresponding to the electromagnetic shielding members. The second signal via is arranged outside the region, and is connected to an external terminal for a bias and control signal. The internal-layer signal line connects between the first and the second signal vias. The internal-layer ground conductor is arranged around the first and the second signal vias and the internal-layer signal line. The ground vias are arranged around the first and the second signal vias and the internal-layer signal line, on the internal-layer ground conductor. A resistance film is provided on at least one of an upper surface and a lower surface of the internal-layer signal line.
