  • Publication number: 20090103673
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a signal power combiner with dynamic phase compensation, which uses a plurality of phase shifters to receive a first input signal and a second input signal, and shift the phases of the first and second input signals. A detection unit detects the phases of the first input signal and the second input signal, produces a compensation signal, and transmits to the plurality of phase shifters for shifting the phases of the first input signal and the second input signal. A combiner receives the compensated first and second input signals, combines the first input signal and the second input signal, and produces an output signal. Thereby, the transmission quality of signals is improved.

  • Publication number: 20090074310
    Abstract: An image data compression method is disclosed. Firstly, check a variance between a first image data and a second image data for comparing the variance with a threshold value. When the variance is smaller than a threshold value, compare the first image data with the second image data to generate a motion vector and compress the motion vector. Then calculate the first image data and the second image data according to the motion vector so as to get an offset value of the motion vector. Next, encode the offset value of the motion vector, compress the offset value of the motion vector, and encode as well as compress the first image data. Thus the compression ratio is improved and image distortion is avoided.
