  • Publication number: 20200055145
    Abstract: A laser peening processing device includes a laser oscillator configured to oscillate a laser beam; and a nozzle configured to inject liquid to a workpiece for laser peening processing, and to cause the laser beam to be incident on the liquid to irradiate the workpiece with the laser beam which propagates through the liquid. The nozzle includes a lens configured to concentrate the laser beam so that a focal point of the laser beam is formed at a processing position of the laser peening processing, a cylindrical casing configured to protect the laser beam before the laser beam is incident on the liquid, and a pipe disposed in the casing and configured to form a flow path for the liquid.

  • Patent number: 8179123
    Abstract: Provided is a measurement apparatus that measures power of a modulated signal that is modulated with a carrier signal having a prescribed frequency, comprising an AD converting section that outputs a digital modulated signal obtained by AD converting the modulated signal; a frequency converting section that converts the digital modulated signal into a frequency component signal representing a plurality of signal components at respective frequencies; a correction coefficient output section that outputs, for each frequency, a correction coefficient corresponding to a frequency characteristic of a transmission path on which the modulated signal is transmitted; a correcting section that corrects the signal component of each frequency in the frequency component signal using the correction coefficient of the corresponding frequency; and a power calculating section that calculates the power of the modulated signal based on the signal component of each frequency in the corrected frequency component signal.

  • Patent number: 7123000
    Abstract: The frequency of an adjacent channel signal is reduced by a down converter (12), wherein the signal (adjacent channel signal) in a predetermined band centered around the adjacent channel frequency passes through a band-pass filter (22). At this time, a signal out of the predetermined band among the signals output from the down converter (12) by the band-pass filter (22) passes through the filter (22). An FFT section (32) outputs the signal having passed through the band-pass filter (22) by making it correspond with a frequency so that a first power measuring section (34) is used for power measurement on the basis of only the signal in a predetermined band. Therefore, power on an adjacent signal is accurately measured upon reception of a measurement signal.

  • Publication number: 20050076072
    Abstract: FFT units (22a, 22b) of signal correlation calculating means (22) converts a clock delay corrected signal (a signal the symbolic point of which is corrected roughly) and a reference signal serving as a reference of modulation into signals of corresponding frequencies. A multiplier (22c) multiplies those signals of corresponding frequencies. An inverse FFT unit (22e) returns the result of the multiplication to a time corresponding signal. As a result, the correlation between the measured signal and the reference signal is calculated so that the position of the symbol point is calculated from the result of the calculation by a symbol point calculating unit (28). Therefore, the symbol point can be accurately estimated.
