Patent number: 8583717Abstract: A signal processing circuit has two types of filters: an IIR filter 11 and an FIR filter 12 having an equivalent transfer function at all times. In an adjustment mode in which the signal processing circuit is adjusted to have an arbitrary transfer function, the signal processing circuit makes a configuration setting to use the IIR filter 11. When completing the adjustment or in a signal processing mode, the signal processing circuit makes a configuration setting change to switch to the FIR filter 12 having the equivalent transfer function.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2009Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Kohei Teramoto, Masaru Kimura, Tsuyoshi Nakada, Fuminori Saito

Patent number: 8442177Abstract: A signal receiving apparatus 2 has a memory circuit 22, writing of data contained in a digital input signal transmitted from a signal transmitting apparatus 1 is performed using a clock signal separated and created by a PLL circuit 21 from the digital input signal received, and reading is performed using a reference clock signal with quartz accuracy from a reference clock generating circuit 24. To reproduce the digital input signal by correcting the shift between the clock signal and the reference clock signal, the signal receiving apparatus detects the shift between the two clock signals. When the signal receiving apparatus 2 side lags behind the signal transmitting apparatus 1, the data contained in the digital input signal undergoes thinning out, and when it leads, a signal generated from previous and subsequent digital input signal is interpolated.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2009Date of Patent: May 14, 2013Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Kohei Teramoto, Masaru Kimura, Tsuyoshi Nakada, Fuminori Saito
