Patents by Inventor Tadamune Birei

Tadamune Birei has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10812096
    Abstract: A wireless communication device converts a signal component, which has one of distributed frequency bands in an analog RF signal and passes through one of a plurality of bandpass filters, into digital data with an AD converter that carries out undersampling. A sampling frequency of the AD converter is set so that frequencies which are integral multiples of a Nyquist frequency based on the sampling frequency do not fall within frequency bands of signal components which are of the RF signal and are to pass through the respective plurality of bandpass filters.

  • Patent number: 10797717
    Abstract: A signal processing device includes an A-D converter and a controller. The A-D converter converts an analog signal to a digital signal in which portions where the amplitude exceeds a predetermined range are clipped. A counter of the controller calculates, for the digital signal, a number of clipped samples for each predetermined number of period samples. A frequency converter performs frequency conversion of the digital signal. An LPF removes high frequency components of the digital signal. A rate converter converts a sampling rate of the A-D converter. A digital amplifier amplifies and outputs the digital signal. An amplification factor adjuster multiplies a preset amplification factor of the digital amplifier by an amplification factor adjustment coefficient based on a ratio of the number of regular samples to the number of period samples, to adjust the amplification factor.
