  • Patent number: 11973524
    Abstract: A radio receiver system and a radio transmitter system are disclosed. The radio receiver system comprises a plurality of intermediate frequency (IF) shifting channels configured to shift incoming signals having a first frequency to an intermediate frequency in a first mixing stage, and to a second frequency in a second mixing stage. The radio transmitter system comprises a plurality of IF shifting channels configured to shift outgoing signals having a first frequency to an intermediate frequency in a first mixing stage, and to a second frequency in a second mixing stage. Since each intermediate frequency is different, the signals shifted to the second frequency combine by coherent addition, and any spurious signals combine by incoherent addition.

  • Patent number: 11967982
    Abstract: A method for real-time processing of a detection signal, wherein signal processing is respectively performed when a detection signal is converted from a high level to a low level or vice versa. A moment at which a level of the detection signal is converted is recorded as a start point. A status of the detection signal is then detected in real time at a current moment. A current time width is compared to a maximum interval width of pre-set interference signals, and signal levels are determined and recorded from the start point to the current moment. Using characteristics of different interference signals, anti-interference processing is performed by using a targeted edge positioning and width recognition method, so that the delay impact of filtering on signals is avoided, improving both the recognition precision of weighing data of a checkweigher and the overall performance of the checkweigher.
