Abstract: A distortion in an amplified signal obtained by amplifying a first input signal, is compensated for by applying a correction factor to the first input signal. The correction factor is updated based on the first input signal and the amplified signal. Updating the correction factor is prohibited when a value of the first input signal is same as a value of a second input signal among a plurality of input signals input previous to the first input signal.

Abstract: An error detecting unit of a phase-locked oscillator evaluates difference between a reference phase error signal output from a phase detector and a phase error signal actually output from the phase detector when a reference frequency modulation signal is output from a voltage-controlled oscillator and further detects a frequency error of the frequency modulation signal from the voltage-controlled oscillator based on a rate of change of the difference. A correction unit of the phase-locked oscillator calculates an average value of the frequency error in a predetermined section of the frequency modulation signal and corrects center frequency of the frequency modulation signal by correcting the average value to be zero, and changes the rate of change of control voltage per control step based on comparison between at least two frequency errors in one cycle of the frequency modulation signal. Thus frequency shift of the frequency modulation signal is corrected.

Abstract: In a mobile-communication system including a base-transceiver station (BTS), a visitor-location register (VLR), and controllers for controlling a mobile station (MS), the controllers including at least one mobile-switching center (MSC) each controlling at least one radio-network controller (RNC), when a location-registration request is transmitted from the MS, it is determined whether or not being located in a controlled area of the controllers is allowed. If being located in a controlled area of one of the controllers is not allowed, re-location registration is performed for a cell placed under control of the other controller. If it is difficult to perform the re-location registration, forced-location registration is performed so that the location of a different MS is registered with a different cell. Subsequently, it becomes possible to decrease the state where originating calls are made with difficulty when subscribers are concentrated in a predetermined area.
