Patent number: 10680333Abstract: Provided is a loop antenna which can contribute to an increase of an area of a radio system using a magnetic field. The loop antenna includes a main loop 1 which is an open loop connected to a signal source 5 or a reception circuit; and an amplification loop 2 which is a closed loop having the same shape as the main loop 1. The main loop 1 and the amplification loop 2 are arranged on a same surface of a flat substrate formed of an insulator. A first capacitance is connected to the main loop 1, and a second capacitance is connected to the amplification loop.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2016Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: Nippon Telegraph and Telephone CorporationInventors: Ai-ichiro Sasaki, Tsutomu Mizota, Hiroki Morimura, Osamu Kagami

Patent number: 10454172Abstract: A main loop is an open loop that is wound on a bar-shaped rod formed of a magnetic body or an insulation body and that has terminals T and T that couple a signal source or a receiving circuit to the main loop. The number of turns is 1 or more. An amplifying loop is wound on a part of the rod that is different from the part on which the main loop is wound. The main loop and the amplifying loop are thus spaced from each other. The amplifying loop is a closed loop including no terminals. The number of turns is 1 or more. The number of turns may be the same as or different from the number of turns of the main loop.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2016Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: Nippon Telegraph and Telephone CorporationInventors: Ai-ichiro Sasaki, Tsutomu Mizota, Hiroki Morimura, Osamu Kagami

Patent number: 10340598Abstract: A loop antenna array that can form a linear and clear communication area boundary is provided. The loop antenna array includes two loop antennas. Currents flow through the loop antennas in opposite directions from each other. In other words, viewing in a direction passing through each of the loop antennas, at a timing when a positive voltage is applied to a signal terminal of an alternating-current source, a clockwise current flows through one loop antenna while a counterclockwise current flows through the other loop antenna. Conversely, at a timing when a negative voltage is applied to the signal terminal of the alternating-current source, a counterclockwise current flows through one loop antenna while a clockwise current flows through the other loop antenna.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2016Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: Nippon Telegraph and Telephone CorporationInventors: Ai-ichiro Sasaki, Akihiko Hirata, Fumiharu Morisawa, Souichi Oka, Osamu Kagami

Patent number: 8248975Abstract: A wireless transmitting apparatus inserts a training signal into a transmission burst at fixed symbol intervals as a pilot signal, a wireless receiving apparatus performs AD conversion of a received burst signal, performs symbol timing recovery, performs frame position detection and pilot signal extraction from the received burst signal for which symbol timing was established, performs frame synchronization, and performs a carrier frequency estimation using pilot signal. A carrier frequency estimation is also performed with respect to a received burst signal for which frame synchronization was established, and channel distortion is estimated and output based on a frequency-corrected received burst signal. Channel distortion estimation is then performed with respect to a frequency-corrected received burst signal, and a data symbol sequence of the channel-compensated received burst signal is converted to a received data bit stream.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2006Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Nippon Telegraph and Telephone CorporationInventors: Takafumi Fujita, Daisei Uchida, Yosuke Fujino, Osamu Kagami, Masahiro Umehira
