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.

A motor generator is provided with a stator having a winding around each of a plurality of stator teeth, and a rotor having a plurality of permanent magnets by the number larger than that of the stator teeth, arranged in the circumferential direction at equal intervals. The stator teeth are formed of a first stator teeth section including a plurality of stator teeth groups I, II, and III each including the adjacent stator teeth around which a winding to which the same phase voltage is applied is wound and in which winding directions of the stator teeth are opposite to each other, and a second stator teeth section including a stator teeth having a winding wound therearound and being placed among stator teeth groups of different phases such that electric power is independently input and output with respect to the first and second winding sections. This makes it possible to reduce the space and the cost while inputting/outputting the electric power through different channels and allowing arbitrary design of the electric power distribution.

A sphere zone coupling of magnetic devices has a first rotor containing permanent magnet array and a second rotor. The first rotor and the second rotor have the sphere zone surfaces forming from magnetic array or similar of almost the same sphere radius facing with constant air gap at overlapped area. The axle of the first rotor and the axle of the second rotor are concentric and non-coaxial. The second rotor has permanent magnet array, ferromagnetic or conductive material to couple with the first rotor at the sphere zone surfaces. The rotation of the first rotor causes magnetic force to drive the second rotor. The transmission ratio will depend on the average zone radius ratio of two coupling rotors and the pair number ratio of magnets in magnetic arrays.
