  • Publication number: 20210218474
    Abstract: [Problem] It is possible to cancel out beat noises in a WDM signal to obtain a high-quality signal component, and a configuration thereof is achieved with low mounting costs. [Solution] An optical reception device converts a WDM signal rs(t) of an optical signal to electrical signals d(t)1 to d(t)n expressed as complex numbers of orthogonal phases, cancels out beat noises from the electrical signals, and then demodulates the signals to obtain signals D1 to Dn of a transmission source.

  • Patent number: 10978916
    Abstract: A power transmission device includes an inverter, an oscillator, a foreign substance detector, and power transmission control circuitry. The foreign substance detector performs a series of multiple processes to determine whether or not a foreign substance is present between two resonators. The power transmission control circuitry repeats a foreign substance detection period and a power transmission period alternately. The foreign substance detection period is a period in which the foreign substance detector performs one of the series of multiple processes. The power transmission period is a period in which the inverter transmits AC power. The power transmission control circuitry also causes the foreign substance detector to divide the series of multiple processes and determine whether or not the foreign substance is present as a result of performing all of the divided series of multiple processes.
