Patent number: 11451253Abstract: A digital signal process unit includes a first cancel signal generation unit and a second cancel signal generation unit. The first cancel signal generation unit generates, as a first cancel signal component, a cancel signal component corresponding to an image signal included in an analog signal output from a mixer. The second cancel signal generation unit generates, as a second cancel signal component, a cancel signal component corresponding to a leakage signal generated between an input and output of the mixer. The digital signal process unit includes subtractors for subtracting the first cancel signal component and the second cancel signal component from a signal component corresponding to a frequency band divided from an input signal to obtain a digital signal.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2019Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATIONInventors: Teruo Jo, Munehiko Nagatani, Hiroshi Hamada, Hiroyuki Fukuyama, Hideyuki Nosaka, Hiroshi Yamazaki

Patent number: 11394390Abstract: A wide-band analog input signal is converted into a digital output signal on the basis of a band division method without the need for filter circuits. An analog processing block Aj (j=2 to N, where N is an integer) down-converts an analog input signal Sx using a cutoff frequency fj-1 of a channel CHj-1 and A/D-converts an analog signal Saj acquired as a result. A digital processing block Bj doubles the signal strength of a first digital signal S1j acquired by Aj, subtracts a third digital signal S3j-1 of the channel CHj-1 from a second digital signal S2j acquired as a result, up-converts the acquired third digital signal S3j using the cutoff frequency fj-1, and outputs the result to an adder as a channel output signal Syj of a corresponding channel CHj.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2019Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATIONInventors: Teruo Jo, Hiroshi Yamazaki, Munehiko Nagatani, Hiroshi Hamada, Hideyuki Nosaka
