    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus for using antennas for millimeter wave contactless communication. One of the apparatuses is a communication device that includes a transducer configured to convert electrical signals into extremely high frequency (EHF) electromagnetic signals, the EHF electromagnetic signals substantially emitted from a first surface of the communication device, wherein the transducer is positioned on a substrate of the communication device, and an integrated circuit coupled to the substrate, wherein the transducer includes multiple parallel resonant antenna elements in an array.

    摘要: In a radio-frequency module, a conductive layer covers a major surface opposite to the mounting board side of a resin layer and a major surface opposite to the mounting board side of an electronic component. The electronic component includes an electronic component body and a plurality of outer electrodes. The electronic component body includes an electrical insulating portion and a conductive portion provided inside the electrical insulating portion, forming at least a portion of a circuit element of the electronic component. The electronic component body has a third major surface and a fourth major surface opposite to each other, and an outer side surface. The third major surface forms the major surface of the electronic component, and the third major surface is in contact with the conductive layer. The plurality of outer electrodes are provided on the fourth major surface, but are not extended over the third major surface.

    摘要: A mounting base (14) is fixed to an antenna (13) or an antenna bracket (15) for supporting the antenna (13). A baseband unit (11) and an RF unit (12) are fixed to the mounting base (14). The baseband unit (11) fixed to the mounting base (14) is disposed to face a back part (132) of the antenna (13) and to form a space between the back part (132) and the first enclosure (111). The RF unit (12) fixed to the mounting base (14) is disposed in the space formed between the back part (132) of the antenna (13) and the baseband unit (11) and is coupled to a waveguide flange (132) of the antenna (13). Thus, for example, in a configuration of a point-to-point wireless apparatus in which an RF unit and a baseband unit are separated, restrictions on installation space of the apparatus can be facilitated.

    摘要: A radio frequency module includes a module board; a first semiconductor device containing a first power amplifier and a second power amplifier; and a second semiconductor device containing a first switch, the first switch including a first terminal connected to the first power amplifier and a second terminal connected to the second power amplifier. In the radio frequency module, the first semiconductor device and the second semiconductor device are stacked together and disposed on the module board. An aspect of such a radio frequency module is that it is possible to achieve a compact form factor, although still provide RF transmit and receive capability. The RF module also includes external-connection terminals and a LNA, and the first semiconductor device and the low noise amplifier are disposed on mutually opposite surfaces of the module board.

    摘要: An electronic device may be provided with wireless circuitry. The wireless circuitry may include one or more antennas. The antennas may include phased antenna arrays each of which includes multiple antenna elements. Phased antenna arrays may be mounted along edges of a housing for the electronic device, behind a dielectric window such as a dielectric logo window in the housing, in alignment with dielectric housing portions at corners of the housing, or elsewhere in the electronic device. A phased antenna array may include arrays of patch antenna elements on dielectric layers separated by a ground layer. A baseband processor may distribute wireless signals to the phased antenna arrays at intermediate frequencies over intermediate frequency signal paths. Transceiver circuits at the phased antenna arrays may include upconverters and downconverters coupled to the intermediate frequency signal paths.
