  • Patent number: 8693390
    Abstract: A mobile telephone having a relaying function, the relaying function being a function of wirelessly connecting to an external device and a base station and of relaying data between the external device and the base station, the mobile telephone comprising: a first wireless communication unit configured to perform wireless communication with the external device; and a second wireless communication unit configured to perform wireless communication with the base station, wherein during a relay period for relaying data between the external device and the base station, transmission power of the second wireless communication unit is controlled within a limit of a second maximum power that is smaller than a first maximum power, and when voice communication is started in a course of the control using the second maximum power, the transmission power is controlled within a limit of the first maximum power.

  • Patent number: 5379322
    Abstract: A baseband signal generator according to the present invention performs differential encoding and mapping processings for a digital baseband signal and limits bandwidths of the obtained symbol mapping data of an I phase and a Q phase by digital filters. Each digital filter includes a circuit for accumulating symbol mapping data corresponding to a plurality of symbol sections, a plurality of ROMs provided corresponding to the plurality of symbol sections for storing symbol data corresponding to a predetermined filter waveform, and an adder for adding symbol data output from there ROMs. The adder outputs a digital baseband signal whose bandwidth is limited, which signal is converted into an analog baseband signal by a D/A converter and supplied to an analog modulation unit.

  • Patent number: 5369378
    Abstract: A digital DQPSK modulator according to the present: invention limits respective bands of symbol mapping data of I phase and Q phase obtained by applying differential encoding and mapping processings to a digital baseband signal, and multiplies the obtained data by the carrier signals by means of the digital filter. Such limiting of the bands and multiplication by the carrier signals are carried out by the digital filter in a time-divisionally multiplexed manner. The digital filter includes a circuit, for accumulating symbol mapping data for each of the I phase and the Q phase corresponding to a plurality of symbol sections, a plurality of ROMs corresponding to the plurality of symbol sections for storing a multiplication result of symbol data corresponding to a predetermined filter waveform and the carrier signal, and an adder for adding data output from these ROMs. The adder outputs a digital modulated signal which is, in turn, converted into an analog modulated signal by a D/A converter.

  • Patent number: 5175514
    Abstract: A digital modulator includes a signal source for a digital baseband signal and a signal source for carrier phase information. The digital baseband signal is converted into amplitude information of an I phase, a Q phase, an I' phase and a Q' phase by a mapping circuit. The carrier phase information is converted into four phase information with phases shifted by shift registers to be out of phase by .pi./4 from each other. The digital modulator includes four ROM, each ROM outputting a multiplication result of the corresponding amplitude information and carrier signal based on the corresponding one of the four amplitude information as a higher order address and the corresponding one of the four phase information as a lower order address. These outputs are added to each other in a digital manner and then converted into an analog signal which is supplied as a modulated signal.

  • Patent number: 4868689
    Abstract: A circuit for use in reproducing a PCM signal recorded on a recording medium in a normal mode and a special mode, to control the frequency of a reproduction clock in accordance with variations in the frequency of the PCM signal. The speed of the medium and the speed of the head, or the frequency of a single-frequency signal in a track format recorded on the signal recording track of the medium is detected to produce a band control signal in accordance with the PCM signal frequency to shift the operating band of a voltage-controlled oscillator in the circuit.
