- a relatively long line can be formed in a limited area in the laminated body 11, so that a distributed constant line can be formed with a line length with a small change in the degree of coupling in the frequency band of the transmission signal.
- the directivity one of the important characteristics of the directional coupler, was 10 dB or more.
- the laminated body 11 is formed using a dielectric having a relative dielectric constant of about 8, the distance between the ground electrodes 62 and 63 sandwiching the first and second transmission lines is set to 400 m, and each line is formed.
- the electrode width was 100 m
- the line length of the first and second transmission lines was about 1 Z12 wavelength.
- Each of the first and second transmission lines 200 and 201 is a one-turn coil type, and the electrode patterns closest to each other among the electrode patterns for the first and second distributed constant lines facing each other with a dielectric layer interposed therebetween. 72b and 73a were opposed at a distance of 100 m. In this way, an ultra-small non-reciprocal circuit module with the external dimensions of 4 mm x 4 mm x 1.7 mm while having the function of a directional coupler was obtained.
- FIG. 12 is a plan view of the green sheets 108 and 109 having the line electrodes 72a and 72b constituting the first transmission line 200.
- the first transmission line 200 of the present embodiment is formed by connecting line electrodes 72a and 72b formed over two layers by through-hole electrodes as in the third embodiment.
- the area of the closest electrode pattern among the first and second transmission line electrode patterns facing each other via the dielectric layer can be reduced. Increased or decreased.
- a through-hole electrode is formed in part B.
- the degree of coupling of the directional coupler due to the change in the position of the through-hole electrode was measured, the degree of coupling changed to 12.5 dB, 14.3 dB, 14.8 dB, and 15.OdB for each point A to D. I understood. In this way, the degree of coupling can be easily adjusted only by adjusting the position of the through hole on one plane.
- the position of the through-hole electrode in the first transmission line 200 is changed in order to change the degree of coupling, but the position of the through-hole electrode in the second transmission line 201 or the first
- the same effect can be obtained by changing the position of the through-hole electrode in both the first and second distributed constant lines.
- the directionality was almost the same as that of Example 3, and was 10 dB or more.
- the nonreciprocal circuit module of the present embodiment has the same parts as the nonreciprocal circuit module of the third embodiment, only different parts will be described for simplification of the description.
- the second transmission line 201 was shortened and formed only of the green sheet 111.
- the third embodiment is different from the third embodiment.
- the coupling degree could be reduced to 20.7 dB.
- the directionality was inferior to that of Example 1, but was 10 dB or more.
- the ground electrode constituting the load capacitance is divided for each load capacitance, ground electrodes 60a, 60b and 60c are formed on the green sheet 101, and the ground electrodes 61a, 61b and 60c are formed on the green sheet 103. 61c.
- the load capacitance was configured as a low-loss capacitor.
- FIG. 14 shows the top surface of the assembly 11.
- One end of the first transmission line 200 is led out to the outer surface via the through-hole electrode of the assembly 11, and is connected to the electrode 50d, and becomes the terminal P2 in FIG.
- the directional coupler and the nonreciprocal circuit are intermittently connected in a DC manner.
- the center conductor 14b of the assembly 10 can be soldered to both the electrode pattern 50b and the electrode 50d that constitute the above.
