Abstract: In a radio communication apparatus, band-pass filters are provided in correspondence with a multiple-band receiver, a multiple-band transmitter and a GPS receiver, respectively. As radio frequency signals received by an external antenna on a vehicle-mounted adapter is inputted to the radio communication apparatus through the external connection terminal 22, signals in necessary frequency bands are passed by the band-pass filters so as to be inputted to the multiple-band receiver and the GPS receiver, respectively. This makes it possible for the connection terminal to be shared in radio communication by a cellular phone and in GPS reception with reception quality kept high both in the radio communication and the GPS reception to allow the number of external connection terminals to be reduced for providing further downsized and lightweight radio communication apparatus.

The viewpoint-position control unit uses a rendering unit to set a position of a viewpoint when a player's car is displayed in a game screen on a monitor. The viewpoint is positioned behind and slightly above the player's car, and is moved along viewpoint positions provided in a world coordinate system. A viewpoint closest to the player's car corresponds to zero points, and a viewpoint farthest from the player's car corresponds to 500 points. Set points for the viewpoint are provided in accordance with whether each viewpoint condition is satisfied. In the case where the present points for the viewpoint differ from the set points when each viewpoint condition is satisfied, the viewpoint is moved at a moving speed based on a number of points per frame.

Abstract: In radiocommunication apparatus, two downconverters (41, 42) for use in reception system each heterodyne their respective received RF signal to an intermediate frequency. One of the downconverters employs a local signal generated by a synthesizer (19), and the other employs a signal obtained by dividing the frequency of the local signal by a factor of N. Two upconverters (161, 162) for use in transmission system each convert their respective input transmit signal to a transmit RF signal. One of the upconverters employs a local signal generated by the synthesizer (19) and the other employs a signal obtained by dividing the frequency of the local signal by a factor of N.

Abstract: A first local signal required for a downconverter of a reception system and an upconverter of a transmission system in a first band is generated by a synthesizer for generating a variable high frequency local signal. A second local signal required for a downconverter of a reception system and an upconverter of a transmission system in a second band is generated by mixing a signal generated by an oscillator for generating a signal at a relatively low fixed frequency with the first local signal using a mixer and filtering the result using a high-pass filter.
