  • Patent number: 7436906
    Abstract: In a symbol timing detector, a correlator calculates a correlation value for a received radio packet signal. A peak detector compares the correlation value with a threshold value to be used, and sends, upon a correlation value detected larger than the threshold value, a detection signal to a symbol synchronous processor. A threshold value to be used for the peak detector is set different, after the first peak detected, between a predetermined estimation period and a period other than the former. A first peak is detected with a threshold value under a severer condition in the period other than the estimation period, and the next peak detection timing is estimated upon the first peak detected. A synchronization detecting position is determined, when no correlation peak is detected at the estimated timing, to output a sync detection signal.

    Abstract: In a power amplifier driven by a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal, a first pair of drive pulses opposite in level to each other is formed from a first pulse width modulation signal whose quantization level corresponds to its pulse width and supplied to a first push-pull circuit (15). A second pair of drive pulses opposite in level to each other is formed from a second pulse width modulation signal whose two's complement of quantization level corresponds to its pulse width, and supplied to a second push-pull circuit (16). A speaker (19) is connected between the first and second push-pull circuits (15 and 16). A deviation between potentials at the output terminals of the first and second push-pull circuits (15 and 16), respectively, is detected. When a deviation is detected, the push-pull circuits are substantially stopped from operating.
