  • Patent number: 11616533
    Abstract: A radio power transmission system and a radio power transmission method are provided. The radio power transmission system includes a first radio device and a second radio device including a control signal generator and an antenna. The control signal generator generates a control signal for synchronizing frequencies and phases of power waves, based on signals indicating reception intensities of the power waves in a receiving device receiving the power waves. The antenna transmits the control signal to a plurality of the first radio devices. In the radio power transmission system, the plurality of first radio devices radiate, toward the receiving device, the power waves having the frequencies and phases set to a predetermined value based on the control signal.

  • Patent number: 7541818
    Abstract: In order to direct a probe having directivity that a received band is widened in accordance with a measurement distance, toward a DUT, shift the received band of the probe in sequence, receive electromagnetic, and measure electromagnetic interference, a plurality of long and short measurement distances between the probe and the DUT are set, and measurement at the long measurement distance and measurement at the short measurement distance are performed plural times. Herein, the measurement at the short measurement distance is performed on a received band where electromagnetic interference is measured by the measurement at the long measurement distance. Thus, measurement of electromagnetic interference can be performed with high accuracy in a short time.

  • Patent number: 6919845
    Abstract: In an apparatus for measuring a specific absorption rate (SAR) for use in a radio apparatus, a first near magnetic field of a radio wave radiated from a reference radio apparatus is measured in free space, and an SAR of the radio wave radiated from the reference radio apparatus by using a predetermined phantom according to a predetermined measurement method. A transformation factor ? is calculated by dividing the measured SAR by a square value of the measured first near magnetic field, and a second near magnetic field of a radio wave radiated from a radio apparatus to be measured is measured in free space. Then an SAR of the radio wave radiated from the radio apparatus to be measured is estimated and calculated by multiplying a square value of the measured second near magnetic field by the calculated transformation factor ?.

  • Patent number: 6882144
    Abstract: An electromagnetic wave measuring apparatus includes a loop probe section having loop probes whose loop planes are placed so as to be perpendicular to each other, and each loop probe is placed so that its magnetic field detection space is not interfered with by other loop probes. If the loop probe section is placed at measurement position coordinates xi, yj, it detects a magnetic field component at the measurement position coordinates xi, yj, which is parallel to an XY plane, and a magnetic field component in a Z-axis direction at measurement position coordinates xi, yj?1, and repeats measurement by pitch p in a positive Y-axis direction. By calculating the root sum square of the detection results at each measurement position coordinate, a three-dimensional magnetic field level of an object to be measured can be obtained at each measurement position coordinate as electromagnetic field distribution with high-precision.

    Abstract: Based on a relationship between cutting-and-removing amounts for partly cutting out a stub of a pattern line and impedances of a matching circuit, a cutting-and-removing amount for adjusting the impedance to a target value is determined by simulation or by comparison operation of an impedance measured value with information stored in a database. Then, based on the determined cutting-and-removing amount, the stub of the pattern line is partly cut and removed so that the impedance is adjusted to the target value.
