用される場合、耐震性と高C/N特性が要求される。Digital frequency synthesizers have recently been developed into VHF, UH
Efforts are being made to use it as a receiving local oscillator or as a transmitting oscillator in mobile radio equipment. When a digital frequency synthesizer is used in such a place, earthquake resistance and high C/N characteristics are required.

化させたりすゐ。This is because mobile radios are generally susceptible to vibrations, shocks, etc., and are required to have high S/N characteristics. In turn, the digital frequency synthesizer may interfere with other adjacent radio channels, degrading the desensitization characteristics of the receiver.

使用されているので共振器のQが低くなシ、無線機のC
/N特性を悪化させてしまうという欠点があった。Conventionally, ceramics such as alumina have been used in voltage controlled oscillators used in mobile radios, thereby solving the problem of earthquake resistance, which is one of the above requirements. In other words, a ceramic is used for the substrate, and a conductive pattern is placed on top of this.
It absorbs vibrations by thick-film printing resistors, chip capacitors, transistors, varicaps, etc., and thick-film printing the resonator that determines the oscillation frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator. . With this configuration, it is possible to obtain an earthquake-resistant towing voltage controlled oscillator at a low cost, but the conductor used as the thick film conductor is silver-palladium, etc., which has a resistance more than 10 times that of silver or steel. Because of this, the Q of the resonator is low, and the C of the radio is low.
This had the disadvantage of deteriorating the /N characteristics.
そこでこれを解決する方法として、抵抗が小さな薄膜(
金等を蒸着して導体としたもの)を使用する構成も考え
られたが、これを採用すると移動無線機は価格の高いも
のとなる。Therefore, as a way to solve this problem, a thin film with low resistance (
A configuration using a conductor made by vapor-depositing gold or the like was also considered, but if this was adopted, the mobile radio would be expensive.
