Abstract: A transmission line having a slot line with a slot formed on a front surface electrode on a dielectric substrate, and two such slot lines are positioned with the front surface electrodes separated from one another with a gap therebetween. A slot resonator with one end open at the gap side is provided at the front edge side of each slot line, and these slot resonators are positioned so as to be capable of coupling to one another. A slot stub which is branched out from the gap side is provided on each front surface electrode. Thus, leakage of a high-frequency signal in the gap can be suppressed with the slot stub.

Abstract: A planar dielectric line having a first slot sandwiched between first and second electrodes is provided on a surface of a dielectric substrate. A second slot is positioned so as to face the first slot and is sandwiched between third and fourth electrodes on the rear face of the dielectric substrate. The width of the first slot is narrower than the width of the second slot so that the electromagnetic field energy of a high-frequency signal is concentrated in the first slot.

Abstract: A resonance element array 200 is disposed between a primary radiator 1 and a lens 3. In the resonance element array 200, resonance elements of linear conductors and variable reactance circuits are arranged on a dielectric substrate. A control voltage is applied to a fixed variable reactance circuit by a control portion so that a fixed resonance element is excited by an electromagnetic wave from the primary radiator 1 and the direction of optical path to be collimated by the lens 3 is electronically changed. Thus, an antenna device, in which a beam scanning is speeded, power consumption for the beam scanning is reduced, operation noise in the beam scanning is eliminated, the reliability is increased, and, when required, the beam direction can be directed to any direction, can be obtained. Furthermore, when necessary, the beam radiation pattern can be changed.

Abstract: A high-frequency circuit device includes a substrate and a high-frequency circuit. The high-frequency circuit is provided on the substrate and has a signal line. The signal line is configured with a slot line provided by electrodes that are arranged side-by-side with a space therebetween on the substrate. The slot line can facilitates circuit design compared to a microstrip line and has significantly low conduction loss compared to a coplanar line, and can improve the Q-value of the high frequency circuit. This can provide an improved high-frequency circuit device having small phase noise. The high-frequency circuit device, which also serves as an oscillator, employs a slot output and thus can provide an advantage of better continuity for a class-B push-pull amplifier that operates more efficiently than a class-A one.
