摘要:
An automotive radar which can process signals at high speed to detect a target in a wide angle range is provided. The automotive radar comprises a transmitting antenna which emits an electromagnetic wave, two receiving antennas which receive the electromagnetic wave reflected by a target, an antenna plate on which the transmitting antenna and two receiving antennas are arranged. It also includes a drive which rotates the antenna plate in an azimuth direction, which corresponds to the direction of arrangement of the two receiving antennas, to scan a detection angle formed by the two receiving antennas. The drive has rest time between scans to stop rotation. The automotive radar also includes a signal processor which detects the azimuth angle of the target with respect to a reference direction during the rest time according to received signals from the two receiving antennas and the rotation angle of the antenna plate at rest.

The invention intends to provide a sensor module suitable for miniaturization and reduction in costs, in the radar sensor that uses a millimeter or sub-millimeter wave signal of which frequency is more than 20 GHz. To accomplish this problem, the radar sensor is integrated into a one chip MMIC, in which an active circuit including an oscillator and a mixer is formed with an antenna on one semiconductor substrate. Further, the MMIC is sealed with a resin package. A dielectric lens is formed on the resin package over the antenna to attain a desired beamwidth. Thereby, the lens and the resin package can integrally be formed by a metal mold, thus reducing the cost.

A semiconductor integrated circuit device is provided for high-frequency or high-speed circuitry having stabilized characteristics and reduced influence on surrounding devices. In the device structure, ground leads extending from a metal substrate or metal layer for mounting ICs for high-frequency or high-speed circuitry are disposed adjacent to at least one side of signal leads and a width W or a space S of at least a part of the leads are set to inherent values for reducing the inductance of ground leads. Further, passive circuit chips for short-circuiting or blocking a high frequency signal are mounted on the metal substrate to suppress high-frequency component signals flowing through power supply leads and ground leads. According to the structure, a high-frequency potential difference due to the inductance of the ground and power supply leads is suppressed and RF energy is confined within the semiconductor integrated circuit device, so that deterioration of the characteristics of the high-frequency or high-speed ICs can be reduced and leakage of the RF signal to the outside of the semiconductor integrated circuit device can be prevented to avoid influence on surrounding devices.

摘要:
A FET variable absorptive attenuator utilizes FETs as variable resistors controlled by voltages applied to their gate terminals, the FETs preferably being arranged in a T configuration with resistors connected in parallel with two series FETs, as well as a shunt FET in the form of a distributed shunt FET. One control voltage adjusts the resistances of the series FETs, and another controls the resistance of the distributed shunt FET. A proper combination of the two control voltages yields a desired level of attenuation with optimum input/output impedance matching. The resistors allow the series FETs to be biased well below their pinch-off voltages to minimize the parasitic capacitances of the series FETs at relatively high attenuation settings, improving the isolation for high attenuation settings at relatively high frequencies and also enabling the attenuator to function as a switch. They also improve the power-handling capability at high attenuation settings. The distributed shunt FET is split into several cells interconnected by inductive elements, providing a low insertion loss at maximum attenuation, as well as decreasing the parasitic capacitance of the shunt FET. The effects of this lower capacitance at relatively low attenuation settings can be more effectively counteracted by the inductive elements, extending the dynamic range of attenuation at relatively high frequencies. Also, the distributed shunt FET interconnected by the inductive elements compensates for the parasitic capacitances of the series FETs at relatively high attenuation settings, which yields increased attenuation with increasing frequency. Finally, the cutoff frequency of the attenuator at relatively low attenuation settings is increased.
摘要:
A radial plunger pump is provided which includes a motor housing having a motor mounted therein. A pump housing is further provided and has a pump portion defined therein. A shaft is mounted between the motor and the pump portion so that the pump portion operates when rotation of the motor is transmitted to the pump portion by rotation of the shaft. A constant pressure chamber is defined between a first seal member and a second seal member both of which are fixed to the pump housing. The leakage of oil from the pump housing toward the motor housing is prevented by the first and second seal members and the constant pressure chamber. Further, a plate is provided within the constant pressure chamber which rotates with the shaft and prevents the entry of foreign objects into the constant pressure chamber through a constant pressure port which communicates to the ambient atmosphere.
