Abstract: A position detection system includes a mobile station, a reference station, fixed stations to, and a server. The mobile station transmits a first radio signal S1 and the reference station transmits a second radio signal S2 multiple times. Each of the fixed stations extracts a first phase difference based on the first radio signal S1 and extracts second phase differences based on the second radio signals S2. The server calculates time variations of the second phase differences based on the multiple second phase differences to calculate a third phase difference. The server cancels phase offset by the respective fixed stations using phase difference information between the mobile station and the respective fixed stations and phase difference information between the reference station and the respective fixed stations and acquires distance information between the respective fixed stations and the mobile station to calculate the position of the mobile station.

Abstract: A semiconductor component is face-up mounted on a package substrate. An antenna substrate is flip-chip mounted on a front side of the semiconductor component. A device-side high-frequency signal terminal is disposed on the front side of the semiconductor component, and an antenna-side high-frequency signal terminal is disposed on a back side of the antenna substrate. The device-side high-frequency signal terminal and the antenna-side high-frequency signal terminal are electrically connected to each other. Thus, the antenna substrate for high-frequency signals can be separated from the package substrate for baseband signals.

Abstract: The data transmission and reception system comprises a data transmitter and a data receiver. The data transmitter generates and transmits a high-speed serial signal through a transmission path and the data receiver receives the serial signal. The data transmitter, when forming the frame for every tributary signal, inserts into the frame a frame bit indicating a boundary of the frame and, after having formed the frame, performs only a bit synchronization with respect to every tributary signal. On the other hand, the data receiver, for a respective tributary signal, stores a data indicated by the tributary signal and, in a timing based on a detection of the frame bit of the tributary signal and a reference frame pulse commonly issued between tributary signals, outputs the stored data to thereby perform the tributary synchronization.

Abstract: A high-frequency circuit device includes a substrate and a high-frequency circuit. The high-frequency circuit is provided on the substrate and has a signal line. The signal line is configured with a slot line provided by electrodes that are arranged side-by-side with a space therebetween on the substrate. The slot line can facilitates circuit design compared to a microstrip line and has significantly low conduction loss compared to a coplanar line, and can improve the Q-value of the high frequency circuit. This can provide an improved high-frequency circuit device having small phase noise. The high-frequency circuit device, which also serves as an oscillator, employs a slot output and thus can provide an advantage of better continuity for a class-B push-pull amplifier that operates more efficiently than a class-A one.

Abstract: In a blood pressure monitor, time habit data representing daily time habits of a patient and a plurality of timings for blood pressure measurement determined by a medical doctor are inputted. The predetermined timings are variably adjusted based on the daily time habit data, and results of blood pressure measurements at the specified timings are stored in a memory. A personal computer for the doctor of a medical facility receives and outputs information read out from the memory of the blood pressure monitor. Accordingly, blood pressure measurements can be performed in timings adjusted in accordance with the daily habit pattern of the patient, so that more accurate measurement can be achieved. Because information including such measurement data is presented to the doctor with diagnostic authority via the personal computer, the doctor can acquire useful information for assisting diagnosis and treatment of hypertension symptoms of the patient.
