Abstract: In order to achieve two-way communications at two different frequencies, an impedance matching circuit is coupled to an antenna. The circuit includes a first inductor which is directly coupled to the antenna. The first inductor induces antenna input impedance to be capacitive at a first resonant frequency and induces the antenna input impedance to be inductive at a second resonant frequency. The first resonant frequency is lower than the second resonant frequency. Further, a first capacitor is coupled to the first inductor. By providing the first capacitor, a reactance component at the first resonant frequency is rendered substantially equal to a reactance component at the second resonant frequency. Further, the circuit includes a second inductor and a second capacitor which are coupled between the second means and a feeder.

Even when the antenna is retracted into the casing, it has substantially the same gain as when pulled out from the casing.

Abstract: A miniature and high performance antenna applicable to a radio communication apparatus and made up of a straight antenna rod and an antenna coil or coil element. A first whip antenna has a first portion retractable into the casing of the apparatus and a second portion constantly positioned externally of the casing. A second whip antenna has a coil element in the form of a loading coil having a predetermined number of turns. The second whip antenna is coaxially provided on the upper end of the first whip antenna and slidable relative to and in the axial direction of the first whip antenna. The second portion of the first whip antenna is movable between a position where one end of the coil element is disengaged from one end of the second portion and a position where the former is engaged with the latter. The antenna exhibits a desirable electric characteristic when pulled out of the casing of the apparatus and, in addition, promotes the efficient use of the limited space available in the casing.

Abstract: In a system having plural CPUs, at least one of which is continuously operating and at least another of which is intermittently operating, autonomous counters monitor counter reset signal indicating normal operation of respective CPUs, each counter producing a CPU reset signal when it fails to receive a counter reset signal within a predetermined time period. To prevent erroneous indication of a malfunction and thus erroneous resetting of the CPUs when the intermittently operating CPU does not produce a counter reset signal within the predetermined time period while it is in its normal, non-operating state, a control circuit is provided to supply the autonomous counter monitoring the intermittently operating CPU with the counter reset signals produced by a continuously operating CPU while the intermittently operating CPU is in its non-operating state.
