  • Patent number: 8116802
    Abstract: HS-SCCH transmission power is controlled on a transmitting side depending on whether HS-DSCH transmission is to be executed, so as to maintain total reception power on a receiving side at a constant level. More specifically, the HS-SCCH transmission power of P2 is transmitted in the case where the HS-DSCH transmission is not to be executed, while the HS-SCCH transmission power is controlled to be P1=P2??P, in the case where the HS-DSCH transmission is to be executed, which increases the power by ?P. Accordingly, the total power on the receiving side remains unchanged regardless of whether the HS-DSCH transmission is to be executed, and hence the AGC function on the receiving side is kept from saturation, which allows preventing a receiving error.

  • Publication number: 20110304409
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a phase shifter includes an input terminal; an output terminal; a first signal path; a second signal path; and a switching circuit for selectively connecting one of the first signal path and the second signal path to the input terminal and the output terminal. The first signal path includes a high-pass filter constituting a main path and a low-pass filter secondarily added in parallel to the high-pass filter and constituting a subsidiary path. The low-pass filter compensates for insertion loss caused by the high-pass filter in a frequency range in which a transmission phase difference is given to an RF signal passing through the high-pass filter.

  • Patent number: 7837431
    Abstract: In an impeller 11, an inlet portion and an outlet portion are provided at one end side and the other end side in the axial direction, respectively. An inlet 29 is formed in the lower part of the inlet portion, and an outlet is formed in the side face of the outlet portion. The inlet portion and the outlet portion are partitioned by a flange portion 40. The impeller 11 includes a primary vane 36 and a secondary vane 38. The primary vane 36 defines a spiral primary channel 35 that connects the inlet 29 and the outlet. The secondary vane 38 is formed in a shape that a part of the outer periphery of the outlet portion is gouged inward so as to define a secondary channel 37 connected to the primary channel 35 and extending circumferentially around the outer periphery.

  • Patent number: 7804810
    Abstract: A path searching circuit is provided which is capable of searching a stable path. A power delay profile calculated by a powering section using an I component correlation value and a Q component correlation value is input to a power level change monitoring section, where a change in a power level is monitored at a sampling point for each of two or more delay profiles to be used for same power adding processing. With correct signal receiving path timing, stable high correlation values are observed, that is, it is observed that the received power level is small in change. On the other hand, with instantaneously high correlation values caused by noises, it is observed that the received power level is great in change. As a result, in the weighing coefficient controlling section, a weighing coefficient for correlation values providing a great change in a received power level is determined so that the received power level becomes low when power is added and so that weighing control is exercised.
