  • Patent number: 6922454
    Abstract: A radio receiving system, which receives an input signal in a direct conversion receiving mode through the use of a plurality of cascaded channel filters, each including a complex coefficient filter, to obtain a desired waveform, wherein a center frequency of a preliminary channel filter corresponds more closely with the frequency of the desired waveform than a center frequency of a subsequent channel filter.

  • Patent number: 6600795
    Abstract: A receiving circuit mainly available in a digital modulation type communication system having a plurality of channels, which is capable of reducing power in a receiving system, simplifying the circuit and reducing the power consumption. Upside and downside frequencies corresponding to a central value between channels are separately supplied from a local frequency signal generating circuit 4 to first and second frequency converting circuits 2, 3 so that two output signals are developed with respect to one of a desired wave, upside channel and downside channel. The desired wave present in common in the fist and second frequency converting circuits 2, 3 is extracted in a common wave extracting circuit 5, and a frequency offset of &ohgr;o existing in the output of the common wave extracting circuit 5 is removed a frequency offset circuit 6 and further an unnecessary frequency component is filtered by a filter 8.

  • Patent number: 6584305
    Abstract: A radio receiving system includes an orthogonally-modulated waveform detection/channel filter section 4, an I signal root Nyquist filter 20, a Q signal root Nyquist filter 21, and a signal detection/demodulation section 25. The orthogonally-modulated waveform detection/channel filter section 4 further includes a first filter (a band pass filter) 2 which permits passage of only a signal at a frequency band assigned to a communications system from which the radio receiving system receives a signal; a sample-and-hold circuit 5; a Hilbert transformer 6; a first channel filter 7 through N-th channel filter 9; and a clock signal shaping/controlling section 15. The band pass filter 2 is provided with the characteristics which cancel the aperture effect due to a sampling operation, thus compensating for the aperture effect due to a sampling operation.

  • Patent number: 6307897
    Abstract: A received signal obtained from an antenna is subjected to high-frequency amplification. The amplified signal is supplied to a first bandpass filter, which extracts only signals of all the channels of a communications system concerned while filtering out other radio signals. The extracted signals are frequency-converted by using a local oscillation frequency, and only a desired wave is passed by a second bandpass filter. The desired wave is supplied to a sample-and-hold circuit, which performs sampling according to the bandwidth-limiting sampling theorem. A resulting discrete signal is supplied to an I-axis-component and Q-axis-component separating circuits, where the polarity of sample values is inverted for every other clock pulse with respect to each of the I and Q axes to thereby effect Hilbert transform. Resulting two orthogonal components on a phase plane are supplied to a complex coefficient filter.
