A connector for transmitting signals using electrostatic coupling, comprises an inner first conductor portion and an outer first conductor portion respectively connected to two signal lines, an inner electrode portion having a facing area larger than the cross-sectional area of the inner first conductor portion in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the common axis, an outer electrode portion outside it, an inner second conductor portion for electrically connecting between the inner first conductor portion and the inner electrode portion, and an outer second conductor portion outside it, wherein the ratio of outer diameter of the inner second conductor portion to inner diameter of the outer second conductor portion is set to provide substantially fixed characteristic impedance at every position along the direction of the common axis.

The semiconductor inertial sensor is formed by a rotor element and a stator element electrostatically coupled together. The rotor element is formed by a suspended mass and by a plurality of mobile electrodes extending from the suspended mass. The stator element is formed by a plurality of fixed electrodes facing respective mobile electrodes. The suspended mass is supported by elastic suspension elements. The suspended mass has a first, larger, thickness, and the elastic suspension elements have a second thickness, smaller than the first thickness.

Provides an antenna for a radio telephone whereby, in a state wherein the rod-shaped antenna is extended to outside the case of the radio telephone, the effects of the human body are negligible and emission of radio waves at an angle close to the horizontal direction is possible, and in a state wherein the rod-shaped antenna is retracted within the case, no unwanted radiation is produced. For this purpose, a helical antenna 20 having an electrical length of lambd / 4 and a rod-shaped antenna 10 extendable and retractable with respect to the case through the hollow central portion of the helical antenna 20 and having an electrical length of about 3lambd / 8 and inductive reactance are electrically coupled by means of an electrostatic coupling portion 30 having capacitive reactance such that, in the state wherein the rod-shaped antenna 10 is extended from the case 50, the inductive reactance of the rod-shaped antenna 10 is cancelled out. The length of the bottom portion 12a of the connecting member 12 is set to a length such that when the rod-shaped antenna 10 is retracted within the case 50, the bottom portion 12a of the connecting member 12 passes through the helical coil 12 over the entire length thereof, severing electrical coupling between the helical antenna 20 and the rod-shaped antenna 10.

A position detection apparatus of the electrostatic coupling type is provided, to detect not only a position of a pointer but also information other than the position information such as, for example, pointer pressure or side switch information. The pointer transmits two codes such that a pressure applied to a pen tip is associated with a time difference between the two codes. A position detector carries out a correlation matching operation between signals generated in reception conductors and correlation calculation codes corresponding to the two codes, to thereby detect a position on a sensor section pointed to by the pointer from a result of the correlation matching operation and based on at least one of the codes. The position detector further includes a pressure calculation circuit for detecting pressure applied to the pointer, which is associated with the time difference between the two codes, from the result of the correlation matching operation calculated by the correlation matching operation and based on the two codes.
