Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a high-frequency component that distributes and couples a high-frequency signal of two different frequency regions in a high-frequency circuit of a mobile communication apparatus, such as, a portable telephone.
  • Fig. 6 shows a see-through perspective view of a duplexer, which is an example of a high-frequency component that distributes and couples a high-frequency signal.
  • the duplexer 50 is formed in such a way that a high-pass filter (HPF) and a low-pass filter (LPF) are contained in the same multilayer board 50a.
  • External terminals Ta to Tc are provided from a position near one of the long sides of the bottom surface of the multilayer board 50a to the side surface nearest to this long side.

  • the duplexer 50 is formed in such a way that first to ninth multiple dielectric layers 51 to 59 are layered in sequence from the top.
  • Capacitor electrodes C51 and C52 are provided on the top surface of the second dielectric layer 52; capacitor electrodes C53, C54, and C55 are provided on the top surface of the third dielectric layer 53; capacitor electrodes C56, C57, and C58 are provided on the top surface of the fourth dielectric layer 54; and capacitor electrodes C59 and C60 are provided on the top surface of the eighth dielectric layer 58. Also, both transmission lines L51 and L52 are provided on the top surface of the fifth dielectric layer 55.
  • grounding electrodes G51 and G52 are provided on the top surfaces of the seventh and ninth dielectric layers 57 and 59, respectively. Also, external terminals Ta to Tf are provided on the bottom surface (Fig. 8B) of the ninth dielectric layer 59.
  • viaholes VHb' to VHg' are provided at predetermined positions, respectively.
  • the capacitor electrodes C51, C53, and C56, the capacitor electrodes C52, C54, and C57, and the capacitor electrode C59 and grounding electrodes G51 and G52 provides three capacitors which are constituents of a HPF, and capacitor electrodes C55 and C58 and capacitor electrode C60, and grounding electrodes G51 and G52 provide two capacitors which are constituents of an LPF. Also, a transmission line L51 forms an inductance element which is a constituent of an HPF, and a transmission line L52 forms an inductance element which is a constituent of the LPF. With such a construction, the high-frequency component 50 is provided in one multilayer board 50a.
  • duplexer which is a conventional high-frequency component
  • transmission lines which constitute the inductance elements of the HPF and LPF are provided on one dielectric layer, and the length of the transmission line per, layer is increased, presenting the problem that the size of the high-frequency component (duplexer) is enlarged.
  • a transmission line is disposed between two grounding electrodes.
  • the characteristic impedance of the transmission line is decreased. Therefore, the insertion loss of the high-frequency component in which this transmission line is used as an inductance element is increased, resulting in a problem that the band width of the high-frequency component becomes narrower.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a high-frequency component that can easily realize a higher characteristic impedance of a transmission line which constitutes an inductance element, that can be formed into a smaller size, and that has excellent frequency characteristics.
  • a high-frequency component comprising: a multilayered body including a plurality of multilayered dielectric layers; and at least two filters, contained in the multilayered body, which are formed of an inductance element and a capacitance element, the filters having bands in which the center frequencies are different, wherein the inductance element which is a constituent of the filter is formed of at least one transmission line such that a plurality of transmission-line conductors are nearly opposed with each other with a dielectric layer in between along the multilayering direction of the multilayered body and are electrically connected in series so that the travelling directions of high-frequency signals which are propagated through two adjacent transmission-line conductors of the plurality of transmission-line conductors become the same.
  • the preferable combination of filters is a high-pass filter and a low-pass filter.
  • the transmission line which constitutes the inductance element in at least two filters having bands in which the center frequencies are different is formed of transmission-line conductors of plural layers, if the characteristic impedance of the transmission line is fixed, the length of the transmission-line conductor per layer can be shortened from that of the conventional case. Therefore, it is possible to realize a smaller size of the high-frequency component.
  • the travelling directions of the high-frequency signals which are propagated through two adjacent transmission-line conductors via a dielectric layer are the same, the circulation direction of a magnetic flux generated around each of the transmission-line conductors becomes the same. Therefore, by decreasing the spacing between the two adjacent transmission-line conductors via a dielectric layer, it is possible to increase the coupling between the two adjacent transmission-line conductors, making it possible to easily obtain a desired characteristic impedance.
  • the transmission line is shut off from electromagnetic noise from an external source, even if the construction is formed such that a transmission line is disposed between two grounding electrodes, a decrease in the characteristic impedance of the transmission line due to the influence of stray capacitance generated between the transmission line and the ground is compensated for, making it possible to realize a higher characteristic impedance of the transmission line. Consequently, insertion loss and a reduction in the bandwidth of this high-frequency component can be suppressed. That is, it is possible to realize a high-frequency component having excellent frequency characteristics.
  • the high-frequency component of the present invention since the high-frequency component is formed of a high-pass filter and a low-pass filter, the number of inductance elements and capacitors which constitute each filter can be decreased. Therefore, the high-frequency component can be formed into an even smaller size.

  • a high-pass filter (HPF) F1 is connected between a first port P1 and a second port P2, and a low-pass filter (LPF) F2 is connected between the first port P1 and a third port P3.
