A vehicle includes a vehicle side device having a vehicle side transmitting-receiving section performing wireless communicating with a seat belt side and a control section (determination section) determining an installation state, based on a signal from the seat belt side; and a seat belt side device having a seat belt side transmitting-receiving section performing wireless communicating with the vehicle side, a first switching unit of which switches the state according to detaching and installing of the seat belt and an output unit which outputs a detaching-installing signal to the seat belt side transmitting-receiving section in response to the state of the first switching unit. A power is fed to the seat belt side transmitting-receiving section and the output unit, and the signal is output and transmitted by the signal form the vehicle side transmitting-receiving section.

The cost of an antenna duplexer is reduced by decreasing the number of parts for antenna switching, and the size thereof is reduced by reducing the space of a printed-circuit board on which a receiving circuit and a transmission circuit are formed. The antenna duplexer includes an antenna, a transmission circuit, a receiving circuit, a first transmission line for connecting the transmission circuit to the antenna, and a second transmission line for connecting the receiving circuit to the antenna, wherein the length of the first transmission line is set to be approximately a quarter of the wavelength of the transmission frequency, and the length of the second transmission line is set to be approximately a quarter of the wavelength of the receiving frequency.

Antenna duplexer

The transmitter adjusting output power is provided with a signal generator for generating a transmit signal, a variable-gain drive amplifying stage, a variable-gain power amplifying stage for amplifying in power the amplified transmit signal, and a control voltage generator for generating a first gain control voltage for adjusting the signal gain of the variable-gain drive amplifying stage and a second gain control voltage for adjusting the signal gain of the variable-gain power amplifying stage, wherein the control voltage generator generates the second gain control voltage to adjust the signal gain of the variable-gain power amplifying stage when the required signal level is not higher than a certain fixed level and generates a first gain control voltage to adjust the signal gain of the variable-gain drive amplifying stage when the required signal level is not lower than a certain fixed level.

Transmitter adjusting output power

A chassis assembly for electric components having a main chassis provided with a plurality of recesses formed by projecting predetermined parts of the bottom wall outwardly. Each recess is provided with an aperture for receiving the corresponding leg of a sub-chassis carrying electric parts. The legs are inserted into and projected through the apertures and are then welded to the outside of the projected parts of the bottom wall of the main chassis. The alignment of the legs with the apertures is easily achieved and the heating of the projected parts is made in a shorter time to ensure an improved efficiency of the work and good productivity.

Chassis assembly

A transistorized voltage regulator has two outputs, one for high current loads and another for low current loads, to minimize drift of the output.
