  • Patent number: 11290154
    Abstract: A control device causes a first transmission system in a MIMO transmission device to transmit a first transmitting-end clock transmission signal (first transmission signal), causes a second transmission system to transmit a second transmission signal, and causes the first transmission system to transmit a third transmission signal. The control device acquires a first phase value and a second phase value. The first phase value is a phase value of the second transmission signal received in the second reception system operating based on a receiving-end clock signal synchronous with a transmitting-end clock signal by the first transmission signal. The second phase value is a phase value of the third transmission signal received in the second reception system in synchronous operation. The control device calculates a first correction value for correcting a first delay amount set value of a delay adjustment processing unit based on the first and second phase values.

  • Patent number: 11159211
    Abstract: Provided is a radio transmission device, a baseband processing device, a radio transmission method, and a radio reception device that can reduce the peak to average power ratio in multiplex transmission using the OAM transmission system. In a baseband processing device (10), a signal formation unit (11) forms N number of multiplex signals corresponding to N number of antenna devices (32) by multiplying M number (M is a natural number equal to or larger than 2) of data symbols that are different from and parallel to each other by a “corrected weighting matrix”. The “corrected weighting matrix” is obtained by adding the phase rotation matrix for suppressing the peak to a fixed OAM basic weighting matrix.

  • Patent number: 10763973
    Abstract: A phase noise compensation apparatus is used for a demodulation apparatus for demodulating a transmission signal modulated by a modulation scheme that uses phase information for data identification. A phase detector detects a phase error of a reception pilot symbol sequence included in a reception symbol sequence. A first filter refers to the phase error detected in a time series manner and sequentially estimates first phase noise components. A second filter refers to the phase error detected in a reverse time series manner and sequentially estimates second phase noise components. The synthesis processing unit estimates a phase noise component of a reception symbol based on an estimated value of the first phase noise component, an estimated value of the second phase noise component, and the phase error. The phase rotator rotates a phase of the reception symbol based on the estimated phase noise component of the reception symbol.
