摘要:
A planar antenna apparatus adapted to excite a small radiating element by electromagnetic coupling is provided. The antenna apparatus has a triplate line including ground conductor plates formed on the upper and lower surfaces of a dielectric substrate and a feed line sandwiched by the ground conductor plates. A coupling hole is formed through one of the ground conductor plates, and a mechanism is provided near the coupling hole for electrically interconnecting the two ground conductor plates. A radiating section coupled to the feed line through the coupling hole has one end grounded to form a short patch antenna. The short patch antenna has a size substantially half the size of a patch antenna. Also, the connecting mechanism prevents unnecessary coupling.

An antenna apparatus, a method of manufacturing the same, and a method of designing the same, are provided. A first dielectric layer, first dielectric film, second dielectric layer and second dielectric film are laminated on a flat metal plate in the mentioned order. A radiation element fed through a feeding line is arranged below another radiation element that is not fed through the feeding line. The feeding line forms, along its overall length, a microstrip line having the dielectric layer sandwiched by the feeding line and the flat conductive plate, resulting in no model change from the microstrip line to a triplate line or vice versa, with reduced feeding loss. The thickness of the dielectric layer is so set as to be sufficiently small compared with the used wavelength, to thereby suppress the radiation from discontinuities lying on the microstrip line constituted of the feeding line and flat conductive plate. This eliminates the need for a metal shield plate to prevent unnecessary radiation from the feeding line.

A linear amplifier includes a variable attenuator and a phase shifter for modifying the amplitude and phase of an input signal to compensate for amplitude and phase distortion caused by non-linear characteristics of a high-powered amplifier utilized in a microwave band communications system. An amplitude comparator and a phase comparator compare the amplitudes and phases of input and output signals of the linear amplifier circuit to develop control signals for controlling the operation of the variable attenuator and phase shifter. The elimination of digital signal processing circuitry allows increased speed of operation that is essential for use in the microwave bands.

In a modulation system using an amplitude and a phase of a carrier wave as information such as a QPSK system, a modulation device modifies an input signal series to compensate the nonlinear characteristics of an amplifier located at a later stage, and provides a carrier wave modulated by the modified signal series to the amplifier. A first arithmetic circuit obtains an amplitude and a phase of an input signal by calculation. A ROM is set with correction data corresponding to the calculated amplitude so as to compensate the nonlinearity of the amplifier. A modification value generating circuit and a RAM output an amount of compensation so as to further modify the correction data according to part of an output signal from the amplifier to compensate amplifier characteristic changes due to temperature variations and the like. A second arithmetic circuit provides a signal series produced from the modified amplitude and phase to a quadrature modulator.
