Glossary of Electronic Components

SAW Devices

The reduced level of unnecessary signals.

The frequency width of unnecessary signals to be reduced.

Electronic component which allows a range of specified frequencies to pass.

Abbreviation of Electromagnetic Compatibility. The concept of enabling electronic devices to function without EMI.

Abbreviation of Electromagnetic Interference. A disturbance of an electrical circuit caused by external interference of an electromagnetic origin.

Abbreviation of Electromagnetic Susceptibility. The vulnerability of an electric circuit to a disturbance of electromagnetic origin.

Abbreviation of Frequency Division Duplex. The duplex which realizes simultaneous communication of Tx and Rx　by using different frequency bands.

The opposition to current flow in a circuit, including resistance, inductance, and capacitance.

The loss of signal power resulting from the insertion of a device in a transmission line or optical fiber.

Signal division between Tx (Transmit) and Rx (Receive).

Electronic component which amplifies low-power signals without degrading its signal-to-noise ratio.

Technology which prints fine patterns on a wafer by certain exposure treatments during development. Features high accuracy and mass production capability.

Electronic component which amplifies a signal to achieve a higher frequency for transmission.

A soldering method in which solder is applied to electronic components and then melted in a reflow oven to permanently mount them to a printed circuit board (PCB).

Gap between the highest point and lowest point of loss within a passband.
