Abstract: A rechargeable lithium battery includes an anode doped with lithium ions in an amount corresponding to the irreversible capacity. The anode is produced by applying lithium ions to an anodic active carbonaceous material. The anode may be produced by applying a slurry of the anodic active material composition containing a carbonaceous material to an anodic collector, drying and compression-molding the resulting article, and applying lithium ions to the molded article. Alternatively, the lithium-doped anode may be produced by applying lithium ions in the production of a carbonaceous material to yield a carbonaceous material containing lithium ions, and mixing the same with a carbonaceous material containing no lithium ions. The resulting rechargeable lithium battery using, for example, amorphous carbon as an anodic active material and a lithium transition metal compound as a cathodic active material shows a reduced irreversible capacity.

Abstract: To remove a component of a carrier signal contained in a high frequency transmission signal, a distributor divides an original carrier signal output from a carrier oscillator into a signal for modulation and a signal for canceling the carrier signal component after the modulation. A first multiplier multiplies the original carrier signal for modulation. The original carrier signal for canceling is subjected to phase shift in a phase shifter. The phase shifter executes the phase shift of lower frequency than the carrier signal, so that the phase shift can be easily executed in a large shift amount. A level adjustor adjusts a level of the original carrier signal phase-shifted by the phase shifter. A combiner combines the modulated signal with the original carrier signal phase-shifted.
