Abstract

PURPOSE:To devise the unit such that a power supply of a converter is not supplied from an SHF reception tuner by forming a solar battery between microstrip lines on the surface of a dielectric base and driving the converter by a power from the solar battery. CONSTITUTION:The solar battery 14 is formed between microstrip lines 12, 12. The solar battery 14 consists of a 1st electrode 14a, a 2nd electrode 14b and an a-Si (amorphous silicon) layer 14c having a pn junction and a glass base 15 is arranged on the upper face of them to protect the solar battery 14 and the microstrip line 12. Then the power generated between the 1st and 2nd electrodes 14a, 14b is given to the converter 12 through a lead wire 15. Thus, it is not required to supply the power to the converter 2 from the SHF reception tuner.
