  • Patent number: 8031790
    Abstract: A multiband OFDM_UWB transmitting and receiving apparatus is provided in Low-IF configuration to solve problems attributed to a direct-conversion transmitting and receiving apparatus. A Low-IF receiver performs sorting by rotating a sub-carrier after FFT to eliminate the need for frequency conversion using a second local signal and uses the same AD conversion clock as that for a direct conversion receiver. An FFT-free preamble can be detected by using a sequence resulting from previously multiplying an original preamble pattern and an IF frequency together.

  • Patent number: 8019306
    Abstract: A wide-band amplifier includes a band-pass filter made of an LC parallel resonant circuit and an LCR series resonant circuit. Both the LC parallel resonant circuit and the LCR series resonant circuit are connected in parallel to a current amplifier device. The band-pass filter has a plurality of poles as well as zeros provided therebetween in the s-plane, where some of the zeros are situated at locations other than the s-plane origing to improve a characteristic flatness in a passband. The output terminal of the amplifier device serves as an output terminal for the amplifier, so that the problem of group delay does not occur. A capacitance element between the output terminal of the amplifier and GND absorbs parasitic capacitance as part of constants to prevent degradation of the frequency characteristic.
