A memory buffer mounted on a memory module includes a pre-launch function of advancing outputs of address/command signal and a post-launch function of delaying outputs of control signal. A time step increment for pre/post-launch time adjustment is set to be equal to or finer than tCK/32 where tCK is one clock cycle.

Memory module

In an electrical component including a solid-state circuit portion and a substrate connecting portion, the solid-state circuit portion includes: a supporting surface faced to and supported by the substrate connecting portion; and an opposing surface which is widened outside the supporting surface and which has an area enough to be opposed to another solid-state circuit portion. This structure makes it possible to arrange, on a circuit board, a plurality of the electrical components in a staggered manner in a height direction.

Circuit module and electrical component

A semiconductor unit constituting a memory device has a memory chip, a package substrate having three wiring layers. Power-supply surfaces (VDD surface) and (GND surface) are wired on the package substrate while an intra-package DQ bus is wired on an intermediate layer between both of the power-supply surfaces. The memory device has two DQ pins every one intra-package DQ bus. The intra-package DQ bus is connected to a signal terminal pad of the memory chip through a via hole. In view of the two DW pins, a via hole for connecting the intra-package DQ bus with the signal terminal pad constitutes a branch wire.

Semiconductor unit having two device terminals for every one input/output signal

The present invention provides a wireless device including: at least an antenna; and at least a conductive ground serving as a ground, through which a high frequency current flows, and the conductive ground having at least a side which is approximately one quarter wavelength of a radio wave transmitted from the antenna, the at least side of the conductive ground having a feeding point, at which the antenna is electrically connected to the conductive ground, wherein the feeding point on the side is positioned closer to one end of the side than a center position, so that the feeding point is positioned asymmetrical to the conductive ground in any directions included in a plane parallel to the conductive ground, whereby the high frequency current flowing, through the conductive ground has an asymmetrical distribution of current over the conductive ground.

A package for mounting a semiconductor device has a surface exposed to an atmosphere. The exposed surface is covered with a covering material such as a paint, a tape or a seal.

Package for mounting semiconductor device

The antenna for a radio equipment includes a base portion boot made of a flexible material and secured to an edge of an opening of a support hole in a radio equipment body such that it partially extends outwardly over a predetermined length from the radio equipment body. A flexible pipe is integrally coated on an outer periphery of a portion of a linear antenna element which is positioned in a through-hole of the base portion boot when the linear antenna element is at its retracted position in the radio equipment body.

Telescoping, dual antenna mounted with flexible boot

In order to achieve two-way communications at two different frequencies, an impedance matching circuit is coupled to an antenna. The circuit includes a first inductor which is directly coupled to the antenna. The first inductor induces antenna input impedance to be capacitive at a first resonant frequency and induces the antenna input impedance to be inductive at a second resonant frequency. The first resonant frequency is lower than the second resonant frequency. Further, a first capacitor is coupled to the first inductor. By providing the first capacitor, a reactance component at the first resonant frequency is rendered substantially equal to a reactance component at the second resonant frequency. Further, the circuit includes a second inductor and a second capacitor which are coupled between the second means and a feeder. The combination of the second inductor and the second capacitor is provided to adjust impedance, defined by the antenna and the first inductor and the first capacitor, to characteristic impedance of the feeder at the first and second resonant frequencies.

Two-frequency impedance matching circuit for an antenna

A miniature and high performance antenna applicable to a radio communication apparatus and made up of a straight antenna rod and a loading coil. The tip of the straight antenna rod is received in the coil such that capacity coupling is set up between them. An antenna configuration is provided for setting up capacity coupling between the antenna rod and a feed portion.

Antenna for a radio communication apparatus

A miniature and high performance antenna applicable to a radio communication apparatus and made up of a straight antenna rod and an antenna coil or coil element. A first whip antenna has a first portion retractable into the casing of the apparatus and a second portion constantly positioned externally of the casing. A second whip antenna has a coil element in the form of a loading coil having a predetermined number of turns. The second whip antenna is coaxially provided on the upper end of the first whip antenna and slidable relative to and in the axial direction of the first whip antenna. The second portion of the first whip antenna is movable between a position where one end of the coil element is disengaged from one end of the second portion and a position where the former is engaged with the latter. The antenna exhibits a desirable electric characteristic when pulled out of the casing of the apparatus and, in addition, promotes the efficient use of the limited space available in the casing.

An antenna for a portable radio apparatus has a first antenna construction connected to the casing of the apparatus and a second antenna construction affixed to a base plate or earth plate which is incorporated in the casing. The first antenna construction has a movable joint which allows the first antenna construction to move between a first position where it is regarded as forming a part of the contour of the casing and a second position where it is protruded from the contour and regarded as being located in free space. The second antenna construction corrects the matching state of the first antenna construction such that adequate antenna radiation characteristics are set up in the first position. Optimal antenna characteristics are, therefore, achievable when the first antenna construction is in any one of the first and second positions.

Antenna system for portable radio apparatus

A mobile radio communication apparatus with an improved antenna for promoting easy manual operations, insuring desirable acoustic characteristics, and preventing the antenna gain from being lowered by user's head or hand during communication. An antenna is mounted on the upper surface of a casing and made up of a rectangular first conductive plate parallel to and spaced apart from the upper surface by a predetermined distance and having a length L.sub.1, a rectangular second conductive plate extending perpendicularly from the first conductive plate and having a height H.sub.2, and a rectangular third conductive plate extending perpendicularly from the second conductive plate and in parallel to the first conductive plate. A short-circuiting plate extending perpendicularly from one side of the first conductive plate by a height H.sub.1 and has a length M as measured in a direction parallel to the length L.sub.1. The short-circuiting plate has the end thereof connected and affixed to the upper end of a particular surface of the casing where the earpiece, mouthpiece and operation secton are arranged. The height H.sub.1 of the short-circuiting plate is greater than said height H.sub.2 of the second conductive plate, while the length M of the short-circuiting plate is equal to or smaller than the length L.sub.1 of the first conductive plate.
