  • Patent number: 11856525
    Abstract: A high-frequency signal processing apparatus and a wireless communication apparatus can achieve a decrease in power consumption. For example, when an indicated power level to a high-frequency power amplifier is equal to or greater than a second reference value, envelope tracking is performed by causing a source voltage control circuit to control a high-speed DCDC converter using a detection result of an envelope detecting circuit and causing a bias control circuit to indicate a fixed bias value. The source voltage control circuit and the bias control circuit indicate a source voltage and a bias value decreasing in proportion to a decrease in the indicated power level when the indicated power level is in a range of the second reference value to the first reference value, and indicate a fixed source voltage and a fixed bias value when the indicated power level is less than the first reference value.

  • Patent number: 10819942
    Abstract: A projector includes a control unit that, when an operation unit receives an operation of selecting an uppermost menu item belonging to an uppermost layer, displays a middle menu item belonging to a middle layer, and, when the operation unit receives an operation of selecting the middle menu item, displays a lowermost menu item belonging to a lowermost layer. While the lowermost menu item is displayed, when the operation unit receives a short-press operation, the control unit displays the middle menu item, and, while the lowermost menu item is displayed, when the operation unit receives a long-press operation, the control unit displays the uppermost menu item.
