Latest Patents
Yano's latest patents include an "Apparatus and method for automatically matching microwave impedance." This invention features a recording medium suitable for use in an impedance matching apparatus adapted to a waveguide transmitting a microwave to a load. The apparatus incorporates detecting diodes and a computer. The recording medium contains a program that includes predetermined approximate expressions corresponding to the detecting diodes. The program enables the computer to compute an approximation value of input power to the waveguide and output voltages of the detecting diodes. It also computes the coefficient of reflection and phase of the input power, determining whether the impedances of the waveguide and the load match. If they do not match, the program executes automatic impedance matching.
Another notable patent is the "E-H matching device and apparatus and method for automatically matching." This E-H matching apparatus consists of an E-plane branch waveguide and an H-plane branch waveguide, both connected to a waveguide body. Plungers are provided in each branch waveguide and are moved to establish impedance matching between the waveguide and a load. The design includes a bend portion in the H-plane branch waveguide, enhancing its functionality.
