  • Patent number: 8259838
    Abstract: A signal transmitter apparatus generates three phase-shifted signals by shifting three transmission signals by predetermined phase shift amounts so that the phase shift amounts of the transmission signals are different from each other by 120 degrees. The signal transmitter apparatus generates three combined transmission signals and outputs the three combined transmission signals to the three transmission conductors, respectively, by combining each of pairs of the phase-shifted signals such that an inverted signal of a first phase-shifted signal is combined with a second phase-shifted signal, when each of the pairs of the phase-shifted signals includes the first and second phase-shifted signals among the three phase-shifted signals and phase shift amounts of the first and second phase-shifted signals are different from each other by 120 degrees.

  • Patent number: 8189692
    Abstract: A voltage memory stores a signal level of a transmission signal from a signal generator at a timing of a clock signal, and outputs the transmission signal. A voltage difference detector detects a signal level of a transmission signal at a timing subsequent to the timing and detects a first signal level difference between the signal level and the signal level from the voltage memory. A maximum value detector, a voltage difference detector and bias voltage sources delay the transmission signal so as to keep a rise time of the transmission signal substantially within a predetermined value range by adding capacitances corresponding to the first signal level differences from the voltage difference detectors to transmission lines.
