Abstract:
A harmonic mixer includes first through third field effect transistors. A gate electrode of the first field effect transistor is supplied with a positive-phase signal of a first signal. A gate electrode of the second field effect transistor is supplied with a negative-phase signal of the first signal. A source electrode of the second field effect transistor is short-circuited with a source electrode of the first field effect transistor and is grounded. A source electrode of the third field effect transistor is connected to a terminal at which drain electrodes of the first field effect transistor and the second field effect transistor are short-circuited. A gate electrode of the third field effect transistor is supplied with a second signal. A drain electrode of the third field effect transistor outputs a signal.
Abstract:
In a combustion pressure sensor having built-in charge amplifier, signal line overheating and deterioration of detection accuracy is restricted. The combustion pressure sensor includes a sensor body that includes a piezoelectric element having one end connected to chassis ground through a housing and detects pressure in a combustion chamber of engine, and a charge amplifier that includes at least a voltage converting unit converting output of the sensor body into voltage signal and a reference voltage generating unit generating reference voltage supplied to the voltage converting unit and operates on power supplied from a signal processing unit disposed outside. The reference voltage generating unit includes a voltage generating circuit having a constant current circuit and a resistor connected in series. The voltage generating circuit has one end connected to power line extending from the signal processing unit, and the other end connected to the end of the piezoelectric element.
Abstract:
An antenna unit having an antenna coil pattern is disposed in a casing. A sensor unit has a surface acoustic wave detecting element including a first sensing electrode that generates and receives a surface acoustic wave and a first reflector that reflects the surface acoustic wave, which are provided on a substrate configured of a piezoelectric material, and a sensor coil pattern electrically connected to the first sensing electrode and coupled to the antenna coil pattern. The sensor unit is disposed in a pressure receiving portion, and a signal is transmitted between the sensor unit and the antenna unit by wireless communication resulting from a coil coupling.
