Abstract
There are provided a waveguide forming apparatus, a dielectric waveguide forming apparatus, a pin structure and a high frequency circuit that can optimize a circuit portion provided therein and have high versatility. A waveguide is formed by allowing first and second conductive layers (6, 7) to cooperate with a plurality of control pins (2). A variable high frequency circuit forming portion is freely and simply changed by displacing each control pin (2) between a down-status indicated by Z1 and an up-status indicated by Z2.

A waveguide forming apparatus, comprising:
- a circuit forming portion that can change a waveguide shape for forming a waveguide;
- and
- a control portion for controlling the circuit forming portion so as to change the waveguide shape of the circuit forming portion based on expected information.
A high frequency circuit, comprising:
- a pair of conductive layers that are spaced away from each other;
- a plurality of control pins that are made of a conductive material, and arranged so as to be displaceable through holes that are formed in at least one of the pair of conductive layers, in a thickness direction of the conductive layer;
- and
- a control portion for controlling a displacement position of the control pins in the thickness direction,
- the control portion forming an H guide or NRD guide, with the control pins whose displacement position in the thickness direction is controlled and the pair of conductive layers.
A high frequency circuit, comprising;
- a pair of conductive layers that are spaced away from each other;
- a plurality of control pins that are made of a conductive material, and arranged so as to be displaceable through holes that are formed in at least one of the pair of conductive layers, in a thickness direction of the conductive layer;
- and
- a control portion for controlling a displacement position of the control pins in the thickness direction,
- two rows of slots being formed in at least one of the pair of conductive layers,
- the two rows of slots being arranged such that a longitudinal direction of one row of the slots is perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the other row of the slots, and
- control of the control portion being executed so that switching can be performed between a state in which vertically polarized waves are emitted from one row of the slots and a state in which horizontally polarized waves are emitted from the other row of the slots.
A dielectric wave guide forming apparatus, comprising:
- a circuit forming portion that can change a dielectric waveguide shape for forming a dielectric waveguide;
- and
