Abstract: A radio-frequency signal receiver and its manufacturing method are disclosed. A tuner receives a radio-frequency signal, and a demodulator receives an output signal from the tuner. An error corrector receives an output from the demodulator. A determiner determines whether or not an error rate supplied from the error corrector is not less than a predetermined rate. A controller receives an output from the determiner, and based on the determination, the controller controls a plurality of sections forming the radio-frequency signal receiver. The controller controls selectively one of the plurality of sections, thereby lowering the error rate. A manufacturing method of this receiver makes a memory, coupled to the controller, store a shift-amount of frequency corresponding to an interference signal in a pass-band of a narrow-band filter.

Abstract: A high-frequency receiver capable of improving both an interference-resistant characteristic and reception sensitivity is provided. A gain switch control unit includes: a signal level determination unit comparing a gain control voltage of an amplifying circuit with a reference voltage; and a gain switch controller provided between an output terminal of the signal level determination unit and a gain control input terminal provided to an amplifying circuit for gain control. When receiving a signal in a strong electric field area having a high possibility that a strong interference signal exists, a gain of the amplifying circuit is set to be smaller than that in a case of receiving a signal in a weak electric field area by a gain switch signal output from the gain switch controller.

Abstract: A high-frequency signal receiver includes a mixer having one port for receiving an input signal and another port for receiving an output from a local oscillator, a filter for receiving an output from the mixer, and an output terminal to which an output from the filter is supplied. At least the mixer and the filter are formed of balanced circuits, so that they have high capability of eliminating interference. Distances between the circuits thus can be short. Further, partition plates for shielding the interference are not needed, thus allowing the receiver to be small.

Abstract: A first digital processor (13) generates luminance data Y and color difference data U, V, using image data D1. The processor (13) further generates separated luminance data Y1, Y2 by halving the luminance data Y, and generates a compound color difference data C by combining the color difference data U, V for output. An JPEG encoder 13 compresses the separated luminance data Y1, Y2 and the compound color difference data C to generate compressed luminance data y1, y2 and compressed color difference data c. A modulator 15 modulates the compressed luminance data y1, y2 and the compressed color difference data c to generate luminance modulated signals m1, m2 and color difference modulated signal mc. A recording/reproducing section 16 records the luminance modulated signals m1, m2 and the color difference modulated signal mc in parallel onto the first to third recording tracks of a magnetic tape (20).

The image sensing apparatus senses an object and produces an image data signal screen-by-screen. In one embodiment, an image sensing apparatus for producing an image data signal includes an image sensing unit, a signal processor, a main buffer memory, and an image data processing circuit. A first group of processed pixels having the size of a first matrix is stored in the main buffer memory. The image data processing circuit receives a second group of pixels having the size of a second matrix from the first group stored in the main buffer memory. Included in image data processing circuit is a sub buffer which is initially filled with the second group of pixels. As pixels are processed and removed from the sub buffer, a third group of pixels is provided from the main buffer which is equal in size to a horizontal row or a vertical column from the second group.
