Abstract:
An antenna element according to the present invention includes a substrate, an emitting element disposed on the substrate, and metal patterns formed in the same surface of the same substrate as those of the emitting element, and disposed so as to be in an electrically floating state, in which the metal patterns are disposed at such positions that the metal patterns have a specific distance from the emitting element.
Abstract:
When communication is to be performed between communication devices having a directivity control function, a plurality of antenna-setting pairs available for the communication are stored by an initial training, and the communication is started by using one of the plurality of antenna-setting pairs. When the communication quality is deteriorated, firstly, a training signal is transmitted while successively setting each one of the plurality of antenna-setting candidates determined in the initial training in a transmitting antenna of one of the communication devices (400), and the training signal is received in a state where a quasi-omni pattern is generated in a receiving antenna of the other communication device (500). In this way, in radio communication performing beam forming, it is possible to ensure the time synchronization between the communication devices when communication is disconnected or communication quality is deteriorated due to shielding or the like.
Abstract:
Antenna 2 and radio communication apparatus 1 include mount portions 9 and 15, flat proximity opposing surfaces 13 and 20, and waveguide portions 12 and 19 penetrating through proximity opposing surfaces 13 and 20, respectively. For example, in proximity opposing surface 13 of radio communication apparatus 1, choke groove 14 is formed outside waveguide portion 12. With mount portions 9 and 15 of antenna 2 and radio communication apparatus 1 abutted against and fixed to each other, proximity opposing surfaces 13 and 20 are set parallel to, and directly opposite to each other with a clearance interposed therebetween so that waveguide portions 12 and 19, opposite to each other and with a clearance, form a waveguide.
Abstract:
An electronic circuit apparatus according an aspect of the present disclosure includes a substrate, an electronic circuit disposed on the substrate, and metal patterns and formed on the same surface as a surface on which the electronic circuit is disposed, the metal patterns and being provided so as to be in an electrically floating state, in which the metal patterns and are disposed at places where they have a specified distance from the electronic circuit.
Abstract:
Impedance optimization is difficult in microwave-band waveguide converters. To solve that problem, this waveguide converter is provided with the following: a waveguide provided so as to introduce microwaves to an antenna that performs input and output in a planar microwave circuit; a terminal waveguide that faces the aforementioned waveguide with the antenna interposed therebetween and connects to said waveguide so as to terminate same; and a conductor plate mounted so as to face the antenna. The conductor plate is electrically connected to at least part of the inside wall of the terminal waveguide.
