  • Patent number: 7888187
    Abstract: An element-mounting substrate includes a ceramic substrate, an electrode layer formed on the substrate and a ceramic coating layer which is formed on a part of the electrode layer and has a thickness of 5 to 50 ?m. A process for producing the element-mounting substrate includes the steps of forming an electrode precursor layer in the shape of a pattern of an electrode layer on a ceramic plate or a green sheet of a large diameter, forming a ceramic coating precursor layer on a part of the electrode precursor layer and then firing the resulting precursor. In this process, it is preferable to form the ceramic coating layer so as to cover the electrode layer on a predetermined cutting line of the firing product. According to the element-mounting substrate in which a part of the electrode layer is covered with a ceramic, a failure in mounting an element attributable to the thickness of the ceramic coating layer can be prevented when the element is mounted.

  • Publication number: 20100295533
    Abstract: According to a reception passive intermodulation measurement method of the present invention, a device under test is set to the mismatching condition, and a standing wave is generated on a transmission line where the sample is connected. Since the tip of the transmission line is short-circuited using the sample, the sample is positioned at the anti-node of the standing wave, and test signals are applied at a high current density. System noise is calibrated with the tip of the transmission line being open. Since impedance matching is not required and terminators are not employed, a large measurement dynamic range is obtained without being affected by passive intermodulation that is generated in terminators. The sample is very small, and an arbitrary shape can be selected. The property measurement is enabled for a wide range of materials, regardless of a conductive material, an insulating material and a magnetic material.
