Abstract
Description
図1は第1の実施形態に係る分配器101Aの回路図である。分配器101Aは、共通ポートP0、第1ポートP1及び第2ポートP2を備え、共通ポートP0に入力される信号を第1ポートP1及び第2ポートP2に分配する。また、第1ポートP1及び第2ポートP2に入力される信号を共通ポートP0へ合成する。
L2:3.2nH
C1:0.15pF
C2:0.15pF
第1移相器11及び第2移相器12は所定周波数において位相をそれぞれ90度回転させる。第1ポートP1と第2ポートP2との間で抵抗素子R0の両端に生じる電位は、抵抗素子R0に生じる0度の電圧と、第1移相器11及び第2移相器12を経由して伝搬する180度の電圧とで打ち消されるので、第1ポートP1と第2ポートP2とのアイソレーション特性が向上する。
L2:3.8nH
C1:0.2pF
C2:0.2pF
L0:0.7nH
C0:0.4pF
C11:0.1pF
C12:0.1pF
ウィルキンソン型分配器は、入力側のインピーダンス整合をとるために、λ/4長の線路を入力側に設ける場合があるが、図2に示すLC回路10は、上記λ/4長の線路をLC回路に変換した回路である。このLC回路によるインピーダンス整合回路でインピーダンス整合をとることによって、アイソレーション特性が向上する。
第2の実施形態では、移相器を構成するインダクタの数を削減した分配器について例示する。
第3の実施形態では、移相器を構成する2つのトランスのそれぞれの一方のインダクタ同士が結合する構成の分配器について例示する。
第4の実施形態では、複数段の移相器を備える不等分配比で分配を行う分配器について例示する。
第5の実施形態では、分配器を備える通信装置について例示する。図9は第5の実施形態に係る通信装置201のブロック図である。この通信装置201は、デュプレクサ20、スイッチ21、バンドパスフィルタ22,23、分配器24、RFIC25、無線LAN用回路26、スイッチやBPFを含むフィルタ回路27を備える。図9において、無線LAN用回路26は本発明に係る「高周波回路」に対応する。この高周波回路とアンテナとの間に分配器24を備える。RFIC25はローバンドLB、ミドルバンドMB、ハイバンドHB、超ハイバンドUHB、免許不要帯域でLTE(LTE-U)及びLAA(License Assisted Access)の各帯域の通信を行う。
