Patent number: 6108532Abstract: In a radio communications apparatus according to the present invention, an RSSI detects the strength of a received signal, and a fading pitch detection circuit detects a fading pitch of the signal from the detected strength thereof and determines whether the moving speed of the terminal apparatus exceeds a predetermined value. A high-speed moving time incoming call control means determines whether the apparatus is moving at high speed based on the determination results of the fading pitch detection circuit. If it is doing so, the control means automatically responds to the incoming call, transmits a response message from a response message storage area to a communication party, and stores a message input by the communication party in a message storage area.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 1998Date of Patent: August 22, 2000Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Tomohiro Matsuda, Hironori Fujii

Patent number: 5528631Abstract: A .pi./4 shifted DQPSK modulator includes a mapping/filtering circuit (6) equipped with a mapping function and filtering function. The mapping/filtering circuit (6) allows phase information which is obtained for each symbol to be shift-input to its shift register (61, 62, 63) and sequentially reads out filter-processed filter factor data corresponding to 256 samples initially stored in a factor memory circuit (7) and allows the filter factor data to be converted to numerical values based on position information corresponding to 10 symbols output in parallel manner from the shift register (61, 62, 63). According to this circuit (6), it is possible to obtain filtered mapping data MF. Therefore, the modulator has less number of gates of the filter and can be embodied with a very simplified compact circuit configuration.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 1994Date of Patent: June 18, 1996Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Takahisa Hayashi, Tomohiro Matsuda, Mutsumu Serizawa
