Abstract: Disclosed is a harmonic rejection mixer that makes it possible to suppress high-frequency response, while keeping the number of gm elements from increasing. In a harmonic rejection mixer that regulates the waveform of an output signal by mixing outputs of multiple mixers that are connected in parallel with the latter stage of multiple gm elements, some of the gm elements are shared by I phase and Q phase by using a control signal with a duty ratio of less than 50% to drive at least some of the mixers, and then using the period in which the I-phase mixers are inactive to activate the Q-phase mixers.

Abstract: Provided is a highly sensitive sensor system that can improve the S/N ratio by use of an electronic circuit without complicating the sensor body or degrading temporal resolution. A broad spectrum sensor element outputs an electric signal corresponding to a detected physical quantity, the sensor driven by multiplying a carrier signal by m-sequence code. The spread spectrum signal, after phase adjustment, is used to demodulate the sensor output signal, which corresponds to the broad spread spectrum of the physical quantity. The electrical noise generated in the sensor is a broad spread spectrum and is suppressed by low-pass filtering so as to improve the S/N ratio.
