    摘要: A tunable frequency selective limiter is disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the tunable frequency selective limiter includes a first electrically conductive path. The tunable frequency selective limiter also includes a ferrimagnetic layer disposed adjacent to the first electrically conductive path. The tunable frequency selective limiter further includes a second electrically conductive path coiled around the first electrically conductive path and the ferrimagnetic layer. An electromagnetic current transmitting through the second electrically conductive path produces a magnetic field coupled to the ferrimagnetic layer. The tunable frequency selective limiter further includes a dielectric layer, wherein the ferrimagnetic layer is disposed on the dielectric layer. The portions of the second electrically conductive path that are at the interface of the dielectric layer and the ferrimagnetic layer may be embedded into the dielectric layer or may be disposed on the surface of the dielectric layer.

    摘要: An object of the present invention is to prevent or reduce an error between a center frequency and a target center frequency in a coupled resonator band-pass filter which uses a post-wall waveguide. A band-pass filter (1) includes: a substrate (2) made of a dielectric substrate and sandwiched by a pair of conductor layers (3 and 4); and a post wall (11, 12) constituted by a plurality of conductor posts (11i, 12i) which pass through the substrate (2) and short-circuit the pair of conductor layers (3 and 4), the pair of conductor layers (3 and 4) and the post wall (11, 12) constituting a plurality of resonators (22 to 24) which are coupled, the pair of conductor layers serving as a pair of wide walls of the plurality of resonators, the post wall serving as a narrow wall of the plurality of resonator. The plurality of resonators include at least one resonator (22 to 24) which is provided with at least one recess (221 to 241) which passes through either one (the conductor layer 4) of the pair of wide walls and directly leads to inside the substrate (2).

    摘要: An aperture coupled microstrip-to-waveguide transition (“ACMWT”) is disclosed that includes a plurality of dielectric layers forming a dielectric structure and an inner conductor formed within the dielectric structure. The plurality of dielectric layers includes a top dielectric layer that has a top surface. The (“ACMWT”) further includes a patch antenna element (“PAE”) formed on the top surface, a bottom conductor, an antenna slot within the PAE, a coupling element (“CE”) formed above the inner conductor and below the PAE, and a waveguide. The waveguide includes at least one waveguide wall and a waveguide backend, where the waveguide backend has a waveguide backend surface that's a portion of the top surface of the top dielectric layer and where the waveguide backend surface and the at least one waveguide wall form a waveguide cavity within the waveguide. The PAE is a conductor located within the waveguide cavity at the waveguide backend surface.

    摘要: Signal transmission structures within a printed circuit are formed to have reduced loss by making specific accommodations to reduce the surface roughness of an adjacent power plane, and thereby reducing the effects of magnetically induced currents. The power plane structure will retain sufficient surface roughness to accommodate manufacturing operations, while also contributing to reduced signal transmission losses in the adjacent signal transmission structure. The transmission structures thereby being capable of more efficiently transmitting high speed signals without undesired attenuation and loss.
