  • Patent number: 10250205
    Abstract: An outphasing power amplifying device includes a switching signal generating circuit configured to generate a switching pulse signal for switching a class-D power amplifier from two types of sinusoidal wave generated based on amplitude and phase of a modulated wave to be transmitted. The switching signal generating circuit includes: a sin calculation unit and a cos calculation unit for converting phase information of the two types of sinusoidal wave into a quadrature format; a DA converter for converting the quadrature-format phase information; a first filter for removing an aliasing component from the analogue signal; an analogue quadrature modulator for generating a sinusoidal wave from the analogue signals by using a local signal; a second filter for allowing a radio frequency and a component in the vicinity thereof to pass therethrough; and a comparator for converting the sinusoidal wave into a switching pulse signal by comparison with a reference voltage.

  • Patent number: 8885697
    Abstract: A reception device includes two antennas 1-1, 1-2 that are in an inverse correlation, a switching unit 4 which switches the signal that is to be processed among signals received by the two antennas 1-1, 1-2, and an adaptive equalizer 6 which uses equalization coefficients to perform equalizing processing on the signal considered by the switching unit 4 to be the signal to be processed, and an equalization coefficient altering unit 7 which alters the equalization coefficients used by the adaptive equalizer 6 synchronously with the timing of switching performed by the switching unit 4. In the reception device can reduce the required time for reconvergence of equalization coefficients stemming from reception system switching in selection diversity using an inverse correlation antenna.
