  • Patent number: 11330703
    Abstract: A wireless communication system includes a first differential signal line, a differential coupler, and an electronic circuit. The differential coupler has a second differential signal line to perform wireless communication of a differential signal with the first differential signal line via electromagnetic field coupling. The electronic circuit is connected to the differential coupler via a wired transmission path to process the differential signal. A surface of a board or a ground pattern of the electronic circuit is inclined or upright with respect to the second differential signal line so as to separate away from a direction in which the first differential signal line extends.

  • Patent number: 10784926
    Abstract: There is provided a configuration that can prevent malfunction in bus communication even when a radio signal transmitted from a transmitter of an apparatus is received with a receiver of the same apparatus. A logic circuit outputs logic 1 to a transmitter in a case where logic 0 is input from a receiver to the logic circuit and a low-level logic signal is input from a processor to the logic circuit. The logic circuit outputs the low-level logic signal to the processor in a case where the logic 1 is input from the receiver and a radio signal received with the receiver is a radio signal transmitted from a communication counterpart. The logic circuit outputs a high-level logic signal to the processor in a case where the logic 1 is input from the receiver and a radio signal received with the receiver is a radio signal transmitted from the transmitter.
