  • Patent number: 10432282
    Abstract: The present application relates to a technique for reducing the circuit scale of a testing device having a function of performing a fading process with respect to a propagation channel of S×U channels assumed between transmitting and receiving antennas, using a terminal compatible with MIMO for transmitting a downlink signal from a base station to a mobile terminal with the number of base station-side antennas S and the number of terminal-side antennas U, or a circuit substrate, an integrated circuit and the like built into the terminal, as a test object. The multiplication arithmetic operation of the characteristics of the propagation channel and the modulation signal is performed in the frequency domain, and a time domain signal is generated from the arithmetic operation result. It's possible to considerably reduce the scale of a circuit that performs inverse Fourier transform and the scale of a circuit that generates propagation channel characteristics.

  • Patent number: 10355906
    Abstract: A synchronization device has a signal reception unit and a signal generation unit. The latter provides a multicarrier signal, which serves as an internally transmitted signal. The former receives the same type of externally received signal as the internally transmitted signal. An STO timing detection unit detects a position at which a correlation value in the correlation calculation between sampled data of the internally transmitted signal shifted at a predetermined sampling interval and sampled data of the externally received signal is maximum as an STO timing. A difference calculation unit calculates a difference between phases of the externally received signal and the internally transmitted signal at each subcarrier in a state in which the STO timing is detected. A correction control unit executes correction control on the signal generation unit such that a difference in a phase of each calculated subcarrier is added as a correction amount.
