Abstract:
A modulating and demodulating device comprising:a mirostrip line network connected to a transmitting/receiving antenna, a modulator-demodulator having a first diode and a second diode which are connected to an output of the microstrip line network, and a bias voltage supplying circuit for supplying a bias voltage selectively to the first diode and the second diode,wherein, in the modulator-demodulator, the first diode is serially connected between input and output terminals and the second diode is shunt-connected between the input terminal and a reference potential point, when the modulator-demodulator executes a modulating operation, the bias voltage supplying circuit supplies a bias voltage to turn on both the first and second diodes or a bias voltage to turn on only the first diode in accordance with a modulation signal, and when the modulator-demodulator performs a demodulating operation, the bias voltage supplying circuit supplies a bias voltage to turn off both the first and second diodes.
