  • Publication number: 20140112409
    Abstract: Improving the reliability of digital radio communication affected by multi-path interference under an environment where there are multiple objects that scatter electromagnetic waves is accomplished. A wireless transmitter transmits a first transmission wave having a first carrier frequency (f0+?f), modulated by a modulator with an information signal having a frequency band f1 which is predetermined, from a transmitting antenna, and transmits a second transmission wave having a second carrier frequency (f0??f), modulated by a modulator with such information signal. An average frequency f0 between the first carrier frequency (f0+?f) and the second carrier frequency (f0??f) is kept constant, whereas the first carrier frequency (f0+?f) and the second carrier frequency (f0??f) are varied by controlling a frequency difference ?f to vary.

  • Patent number: 8542091
    Abstract: When supplying a power from a base station to a terminal station on radio and a distance from a base station to a terminal station is long, it becomes impossible for the terminal station to rectify the power. The feature of the present invention is found in a wireless communication system in which the peak value and duty ratio of a transmission power are controlled simultaneously, keeping the transmission power of a base station below a fixed value, thereby allowing a voltage to be applied to a diode, which is a component of a rectifier circuit possessed by a terminal station, always in excess of a threshold voltage of the diode, and energy is exchanged between the base station and the terminal station below a limit power.
