  • Publication number: 20230266482
    Abstract: A satellite signal receiving device includes a sampling clock outputting circuit that receives a reference clock and outputs a sampling clock, a first RF receiving circuit that is capable of performing intermittent driving in which an on operation and an off operation, and, during the on operation, down-converts a first satellite signal received by a first receiving antenna and outputs a first intermediate signal, a first baseband processing circuit that processes the first intermediate signal in accordance with the reference clock, a second RF receiving circuit that is capable of performing intermittent driving, and, during the on operation, down-converts a second satellite signal received by a second receiving antenna and outputs a second intermediate signal, and a second baseband processing circuit that processes the second intermediate signal in accordance with the sampling clock.

  • Patent number: 9887763
    Abstract: A satellite signal reception device includes: a local signal generator that generates a signal while switching between a signal having a first local frequency corresponding to a first positioning satellite signal and a signal having a second local frequency corresponding to a second positioning satellite signal based on a reference clock signal; and a frequency converter that converts a reception signal of the first positioning satellite signal into a first intermediate frequency signal by multiplying the reception signal of the first positioning satellite signal by the signal having the first local frequency, and converts a reception signal of the second positioning satellite signal into a second intermediate frequency signal of which at least a part of a converted frequency band is in common with the first intermediate frequency signal multiplying the reception signal of the second positioning satellite signal by the signal having the second local frequency.

  • Patent number: 9880285
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes: a substrate; a first layer that is stacked on the substrate and includes an inductor; and a bump group that is arranged above the first layer, wherein the bump group includes a plurality of bumps that are arranged under a predetermined rule, and at least one bump that is different from the plurality of bumps and whose center does not overlap the inductor when the semiconductor device is viewed in a plan view from a direction vertical to a plane on which the bump group is provided.
