Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a master chip for writing correction data, which is input from an external communication controller via an external bus, to an EEPROM. After a system reset, the master chip reads the correction data written to the EEPROM. If it is determined that the data read from the EEPROM is the correction data, the master chip replaces a portion to be corrected in an existing program with the read correction data and downloads (uploads) a corrected program into a slave chip.

Abstract: A path search processing section 110 of a searcher 108 performs despreading processing for a signal that has undergone AAA reception by an MF 110a. A power addition circuit 110c adds power of a signal in which coherent addition of a despread signal has been performed, and outputs the result to a delay profile circuit 110d and also to threshold value decision circuit 111. Outputs from respective threshold value decision circuits 111 are output to a combining circuit 112. A power combination value combined by the combining circuit 112 is output to a delay profile circuit 113, and a delay profile is created based on this power combination value. A finger assignment circuit 114 finds despreading timing for AAA reception weight control from the delay profile.

Abstract: During the time when a mobile station of a communicating party receives a signal from another base, a synchronization control section 101 instructs stop of signal transmission to a control section 102-1, which corresponds to a system that transmits a signal with carrier frequency f1 at which a signal is received from another base station, and a control section 102-2, which corresponds to a system that transmits a signal with carrier frequency f2 adjacent to a frequency at which a signal is received from another base station. When receiving instructions to stop the transmission from the synchronization control section 101, a control sections 102-1 and 102-2 instruct switch 104-1 and a switch 104-2 to cut off a signal to be transmitted and instruct an RF analog section 107-1 and an RF analog section 107-2 to stop the signal transmission.

Abstract: A spacer 2 is provided between an inner core 62 and a resolver rotor 63, which are respectively attached to a rotary shaft 68. A cutout groove 42 is formed at a flange 41 of the inner core 62. A fixing groove 3 and the cutout groove 42 are aligned in the rotary shaft 68 direction.

Abstract: Confidence calculator 211 finds confidence based on the measurement result of the received SIR. Based on the confidence supplied from confidence calculator 211, ACK/NACK decider 212 makes a decision for the then modulated ACK signal with reference to a predetermined threshold level. For the ACK/NACK decision result, scheduler 251 instructs buffer 252 to transmit new data when an ACK signal is received, and to transmit the data of the previous transmission when a NACK signal is received. By this means, it is possible to prevent loss of the received data in the communication terminal apparatus that occurs when a NACK signal is erroneously received and the data is not retransmitted from the associated communication terminal apparatus.

Abstract: An interference cancellation apparatus and method may remove interference from a directional array combined signal that is received by an array antenna and array combined on a directivity-by-directivity basis. The apparatus and method input a plurality of array combined signals subjected to array combining on a directivity-by-directivity basis to select an array-combined signal corresponding to a path. A correlation value is detected between the selected array combined signal and a spread code. Detected correlation values are combined to generate a combined value, and the combined value is used to generate a temporarily determined value. The temporarily determined value is re-spread to generate a re-spread signal, and re-spread signals are sorted for every directivity, on a per path basis. The re-spread signals sorted for every directivity are then added to generate a replica signal.

Abstract: A base station transmits downlink signals to mobile terminals of users A to C with respective transmission power corresponding to downlink quality. A downlink quality estimating section (106) uses the transmission power from a transmission power control section to compare transmission power between the users, and estimates that a terminal with low transmission power has high downlink quality. The priorities are determined so that the priority is increased as the transmission power is lower. Thus determined priority information is output to a scheduling section (107). The scheduling section (107) performs scheduling based on the priority information. The section (107) assigns DSCH to terminals in ascending order of transmission power. User A is first assigned DSCH, user B is second assigned DSCH, and user C is third assigned DSCH. It is thus possible to perform scheduling and MCS selection of DSCH with the need of information from a terminal eliminated.

Abstract: A terminal for a resolver that operates in a high temperature environment is presented. The terminal includes a terminal block having a through groove. The through groove provides a resistive welder with access to flat terminals mounted on the terminal block. Resistive welding the stator coil wire of the resolver to the flat terminals is less complicated than soldering the stator coil wire to the flat terminals and provides a connection more able to withstand high temperatures.

Abstract: A communication apparatus is provided which employs two oscillators to generate a transmission signal and a reception signal, and prevents harmful spurious components from being produced. As shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the oscillation frequency fVCO2 of a VCO 2 is given by fVCO2=N×(2×fDD), where fDD is the difference between the transmit frequency fT and receive frequency fR. A 3/(2×N) frequency multiplier outputs a signal with a frequency 3×fDD, and a divide-by-N circuit (2/(2×N) frequency multiplier) outputs a signal with a frequency 2×fDD. Thus the transmit intermediate frequency fTIF is given by fTIF=3×fDD, and the receive intermediate frequency fRIF is given by fRIF=2×fDD. The oscillation frequency fVCO1 of a VCO 1 is fCH. The transmit frequency fT is given by fT=fCH+fTIF=fCH+3×fDD. The circuit can prevent a transmission spurious problem to its own reception band.

That is to say, the DSCH-using terminal determination section 108 determines communication terminals that are to use the DSCH in the order of communication terminals whose signal directions of arrival are most contiguous from among communication terminals wishing to use the DSCH.

Abstract: An fD detector 104 detects a maximum Doppler frequency from a received signal and outputs to a schedule creating section 105. The schedule creating section 105 determines, for each user, a time (or order) at which to transmit packet data thereto from the maximum Doppler frequencies detected by the fD detector 104, and outputs to a switch circuit 107 and a multiplexing section 108 schedule information indicating these times at which to transmit the packets of data. The switch circuit 107 sequentially outputs the packets of data to be transmitted to the respective users to an encoding section 109 according to the schedule created by the schedule creating section 105. The multiplexing section 108 multiplexes the schedule for transmitting the packets of data, output from the schedule creating section 105 and control data necessary for transmitting packet data on a common channel, and outputs to the encoding section 109.
