The invention provides a compact laser light source whose wavelength can be designed freely in a wavelength band in which the semiconductor laser has not been put to practical use by combining an efficient nonlinear optical crystal and high-power semiconductor lasers for optical communication. In one embodiment, the laser light source includes: a first laser for generating a laser beam of a wavelength λ1; a second laser for generating a laser beam of a wavelength λ2; and a nonlinear optical crystal that allows the laser beam of wavelength λ1 and the laser beam of wavelength λ2 as inputs and outputs a coherent beam having a wavelength λ3 of a sum frequency that satisfies a relationship of 1 / λ1+1 / λ2=1 / λ3. The wavelength λ3 of the sum frequency is 589.3±2 nm that is equivalent to the sodium D line.

An adjustable multi-band planar antenna especially applicable in mobile terminals. In the structure of the antenna, advantageously on a surface of a dielectric part, there is placed a conductive element (430) having a significant electromagnetic coupling to the radiating plane (422). The arrangement further comprises a filter (440) and a switch (SW) so that the parasitic conductive element at issue can be connected through the filter to a terminal element (TE) connected to the ground plane. That terminal element is pure short-circuit or a reactive element. An antenna's operation band, which is desired to be displaced, situates on pass band of the filter, and another operation band, which is desired not to be effected, situates in stop band of the filter. Controlling the switch causes the electric length of the antenna's part corresponding for example the upper operation band to change measured from the short-circuit point, in which case also the resonance frequency changes and the band is displaced. Only one operation band of the antenna is affected because on the other operation bands a high impedance is “seen” from the parasitic element towards the ground, although the switch is closed.

A signal carrying microstrip (510) is an integral part of the passive part (502) or the active part (501) of an RF-IC (integrated circuit carrying radio frequency signals). The ground plane (511) is an integral part of the base plate (503) of an RF-IC. The distance (h) between the microstrip (510) and the ground plane (511) is determined by the geometrical properties of the passive or the active part, of the base plate, and of the elements that act as spacers between the passive or active part and the base plate. The inventive microstrip structure allows the use of microstrips with different widths in an RF-IC without compromising the other important electrical characteristics like impedance level and inductive coupling. This opens the door for constructing a balun integrated into an RF-IC being able to e.g. make an impedance matching between different impedance levels.

The impedance frequency select surface leads in the dielectric spacer layer and the resistance loading layer, so that limitation that a stop frequency band of the existing frequency select surface has the total reflection characteristic is eliminated; the stop frequency band is reduced effectively; and the technical problem that an RCS (Radar Cross Section) of the existing frequency select surface radome is limited to the structure shape is solved. The impedance frequency select surface can serve as RCS control of a spatial filter and a radome.
