Abstract

An electronic device comprises a divider and a first filter. The divider comprises a first terminal for inputting a high-frequency signal, a second terminal coupled to the first terminal, and third and fourth terminals for distributing thereto the signal inputted from the first terminal. The first filter is coupled to the second terminal.

Claims

1. An electronic device comprising:

a first coupler having a first terminal for inputting a high-frequency signal, a second terminal coupled to the first terminal, and third and fourth terminals for distributing thereto the signal inputted from the first terminal;

a first filter coupled to the second terminal; and

a first line having one end connected to the third terminal and the other end connected to the fourth terminal;

wherein the first filter has a capacitor connected between the second terminal and a reference potential and a second line having one end connected to the second terminal and the other end left open, the first line having a line length twice that of the second line.

2. An electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the first coupler is a 90-degree hybrid coupler.

5. An electronic device according to claim 1, further comprising a second filter, connected to the first terminal, for setting a stopband and a passband;

wherein the first and second filters have the same circuit structure.

6. An electronic device according to claim 1, further comprising a second coupler having a first node connected to the third and fourth terminals.

7. An electronic device according to claim 6, wherein the second coupler has a second node between the third terminal and the first node, a third node between the fourth terminal and the first node, and a resistance element connected between the second and third nodes.

8. An electronic device according to claim 6, wherein an output signal of the third terminal is a signal in phase or antiphase with an output signal of the fourth terminal.

9. An electronic device according to claim 7, further comprising a third line connected between the first and second nodes.

10. An electronic device according to claim 7, further comprising a third line connected between the first and third nodes.

11. An electronic device according to claim 7, further comprising a fourth node connected between the first node of the second coupler and an output terminal;

and

a third line having one end connected to the fourth node.

3. An electronic device comprising:

a first coupler having a first terminal for inputting a high-frequency signal, a second terminal coupled to the first terminal, and third and fourth terminals for distributing thereto the signal inputted from the first terminal;

a first filter coupled to the second terminal; and

a first line having one end connected to the third terminal and the other end connected to the fourth terminal;

wherein the first filter has a second line having one end connected to the second terminal and the other end left open and a third line having one end connected to the second terminal and the other end short-circuited to a reference potential, the first line having a line length twice that of the second line.

4. An electronic device comprising:

a first coupler having a first terminal for inputting a high-frequency signal, a second terminal coupled to the first terminal, and third and fourth terminals for distributing thereto the signal inputted from the first terminal;

a first filter coupled to the second terminal; and
