Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To protect an MMIC or a semiconductor element corresponding to a structural element form a breakdown caused by noises of static charges, or the like and enhance reliability with a simple structure in a high frequency transmitter and receiver for use in an automobile radar, a radio LAN or the like. SOLUTION: Wire lines of which each end is grounded, and a length is at 1/4 wavelength of a use frequency are inserted in parallel into a part of signal transmission wire lines for connecting an MMIC chip or a semiconductor element of a transmission and reception circuit part with an antenna, or into a part of antenna surfaces. Thus, a potential of the signal transmission wire line for the transmission and reception circuit is dropped substantially to the earth in a direct current or low frequency area, and a high impedance near to an open state is set with respect to a signal of a predetermined use frequency, whereby all static charges or unnecessary noise waves from the antenna are substantially dropped to the earth, and are not made to reach the MMIC or semiconductor element, and a transmission and reception can be carried out with hardly affecting a target high frequency signal.

According to the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a part of a transmission line connecting an MMIC chip or a semiconductor element of a transmission / reception circuit unit to an antenna or a part of an antenna surface is provided in parallel. One end is connected to a reference potential source (that is, ground), and a line (1/4 short stub) having a length of 1/4 of the wavelength of the used signal frequency is inserted. And As a result, the potential of the signal line is almost short-circuited to ground in a DC or low-frequency region other than a predetermined signal frequency (that is, grounded), and a high impedance that is open to a signal of a predetermined use frequency is generated. Since the antenna enters the antenna in parallel, the static electricity and unnecessary noise waves from the antenna side are effectively all grounded, do not reach the MMIC or the semiconductor element, and have little effect on the intended high-frequency signal. The configuration reaches the MMIC and the semiconductor element.

An impedance element (in the figure, an inductance element) 3 is provided in a part of the transmission line 32 connecting the C chip 1 and the antenna 6.

In this case, the impedance is substantially as low as a short circuit to the ground. Although the figure shows a case where an inductance element is used,
In such a case, by designing the impedance to be low with respect to a noise input having a frequency lower than a predetermined signal frequency, it is possible to effectively prevent an adverse effect due to static electricity charged to a person who handles the electronic device. be able to.

It should be noted that connecting a line having a length of 1/4 of the wavelength of the transmission / reception signal in parallel to the transmission line has a simpler configuration, higher accuracy and higher noise than the case where the inductance element shown in FIG. 6 is provided. It is preferable because it functions effectively in all directions without any direction dependency on radio waves. In particular, in a high-frequency signal processing device such as a millimeter wave, it is preferable because it can be easily assembled together with the MMIC.
