Patent number: 7205843Abstract: A directional coupler is provided on the output side of a power amplifier. An increase in reflected wave power from a load is detected through the directional coupler by an electric power detector (wave detector). Then, a detection signal of an electric power detector is provided to a power amplifier supply voltage control circuit. As a result, the supply voltage supplied to the power amplifier is reduced gradually. By virtue of this, the supply voltage provided to the power amplifier is gradually reduced when the power amplifier approaches a breakdown condition. This protects the power amplifier.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2004Date of Patent: April 17, 2007Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hideo Nagata

Publication number: 20060083330Abstract: Fundamentals and IM waves comprising distortion signals are detected by vector measurement from an amplified baseband signal. Detected IM waves are related to power and frequency and plotted on the frequency axis. IM waves related to power and frequency are subjected to IFFT processing, and thereby converted so as to be related to time and power. Amplitude and phase components of IM waves subjected to IFFT processing are found. Compensation signal generation information is generated by relating a distortion compensation signal that has amplitude components of inverse amplitude to the amplitude components of IM waves and phase components of inverse phase to the phase components of IM waves to power, and creating a table by storing the generated compensation signal generation information in a compensation table. By this means, the circuit configuration can be made small and simple, processing can be simplified and speeded up, and distortion components can be suppressed with high precision.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2003Publication date: April 20, 2006Inventors: Hideo Nagata, Takashi Enoki

Publication number: 20060029154Abstract: A compensation data table 304 generates baseband signal nonlinear characteristic information. A determination section 305 determines from measured power whether power is on an upward trend or on a downward trend. An IM unbalance compensation computation section 306 generates an unbalance IM characteristic so that an amplitude component and phase component when power is identical differ when power is on an upward trend and when power is on a downward trend, and generates a compensation signal of a compensation characteristic that has an amplitude component and phase component that are symmetrical with the generated unbalance IM characteristic with respect to amplitude component and phase component fixed values when there is a linear characteristic. A complex multiplication section 307 combines the baseband signal with the compensation signal. An amplifier 312 amplifies the baseband signal and also suppresses distortion components generated during amplification by means of the compensation signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2003Publication date: February 9, 2006Applicant: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hideo Nagata, Takashi Enoki

Patent number: 6565444Abstract: A television game machine includes a housing having an air intake and air exit in side surfaces, and forms an air flow passage in a space of air flow on a line connecting between the air intake and the air exit. A heat-radiating member formed with heat-radiating fins is attached in a state electrically insulated from a semiconductor device mounted on the printed board in order to transfer heat generated from the semiconductor device. The heat-radiating member is arranged related to the semiconductor device and printed board such that the heat-radiating fins are along the air flow passage. When ambient air is taken through the air intake and caused to flow through the grooves between the heat-radiating fins of the heat-radiating member to be released outside through the air exit, a fan releases the heat dissipated from the heat-radiating fins together with flowing air to an outside.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2001Date of Patent: May 20, 2003Assignee: Nintendo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hideo Nagata, Junji Takamoto, Yuji Hori
