Abstract: To support a plurality of different mobile radio standards in mobile radio terminal devices using a single system oscillator, a sampling rate converter converts the sampling rates from an input rate to an output rate and additionally outputs control information which is suitable for operating signal processing components. The components receiving the control information are arranged in the signal flow upstream of the sampling rate converter, on average exactly at a virtual sampling frequency. The virtual sampling pattern is mapped onto the frame of the physical operating clock by simply gating out edges of the physical operating clock. Using the control signal, a clock control device generates a masked clock that has, on average, an edge repetition rate which corresponds to the virtual sampling frequency of the samples or to an integer multiple thereof.

Abstract: An interchangeable lens connects in a prescribed position to a support surface on a camera of a camera system using a locking apparatus. A method and apparatus for identifying interchangeable lenses uses optical radiation. After the locking operation is performed, a defined optical radiation is directed from two or more, preferably six, light transmitters arranged in the support surface to reflecting or absorbing surfaces on the locking apparatus which are assigned to said light transmitters. The radiation returning from the respective reflecting/absorbing surfaces is picked up by light receivers arranged next to the light transmitters in the support surface. A binary coded signal for identifying the interchangeable lens is formed from the output signals of the light receivers.
