  • Publication number: 20100285836
    Abstract: Provided is a radio communication device which can prevent degradation of an antenna by controlling the VSWR and the current phase of antennas arranged adjacent to one another. In this device, an antenna (201) has a predetermined resonance frequency. A breaking circuit (203) is connected to the antenna (201) in parallel to a rectification circuit (205) so as to shut off the resonance frequency of the antenna (201). A termination circuit (204) electrically terminates the output side of the breaking circuit (203). An antenna (207) is arranged in the vicinity of the antenna (201) and has a resonance frequency different from a resonance frequency of the antenna (201). A breaking circuit (209) is connected to the antenna (207) in parallel to a rectification circuit (211) and shuts off the resonance frequency of the antenna (207). A termination circuit (210) terminates the output side of the breaking circuit (209).

  • Patent number: 6222977
    Abstract: A structure for introducing an optical cable into a communication apparatus includes an adapter (3) to be affixed to a side wall (21) forming a part of the casing (2) of the apparatus. A case (4) is fitted in a bore axially extending throughout the center of the adapter (3). A ring nut assembly (5) holds an optical cable (6) at its center and is connected to the adapter (3) in such a manner as to cover the case (4). The cable (6) includes a tension merber (61) introduced into the casing (2) via the case (4) and adapter (3) and affixed by a tension member affixing portion (46) disposed in the casing (2). In this condition, the cable (6) is firmly affixed by the ring nut assembly (5) and tension member affixing portion (46), i.e., at two points. The fibers of the cable (6) are therefore free from breakage ascribable to a twisting force or a pulling force.
