Patent number: 7110480Abstract: The control unit 50 calculates weighting factors for one symbol out of every k symbols. During this calculation, the control unit 50 calculates weighting factors for respective inphase and quadrature components of the symbol stored in every I and Q buffers based on the inphase and quadrature components. The control unit 50 also interpolates weighting factors for the remaining k-1 symbols. During this interpolation, the control unit 50 uses the weighting factors that are currently calculated and the weighting factors that have been previously calculated and are stored in the W buffer 51. The calculated and interpolated weighting factors are used for forming a directivity pattern.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 1999Date of Patent: September 19, 2006Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventor: Toshinori Iinuma

Patent number: 7075909Abstract: An access control unit 3 includes a table showing how time slots are currently being assigned to mobile stations that are mid-communication. The access control unit 3 judges whether the reception signal level measured by the reception level detection unit 22 for each mobile station is at least equal to a threshold value. The access control unit 3 then changes the assignment and the table so that the mobile stations having a reception level that is at least equal to the threshold value occupy the same time slot. The access control unit 3 reduces the transmission power during this time slot to a level that is lower than the transmission power of other time slots. By doing so, interference with the transmission waves of nearby radio base stations can be avoided.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2000Date of Patent: July 11, 2006Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventor: Toshinori Iinuma

Patent number: 6870878Abstract: An adaptive array radio base station comprises at least three antenna elements (ANTj (j=1, 2, . . . , n)) and a signal processing circuit (20). In calibration, the difference in a phase rotation quantity and the difference in an amplitude fluctuation quantity between a transmission circuit and a receiving circuit in each transmission system are estimated on the basis of a known signal transmitted from each transmission system and a received signal measured in each transmission system. A phase rotation quantity of a phase shifter (PSj) and an amplitude fluctuation quantity of an attenuator (ATTj) are set on the basis of the results of the estimation. Thus provided are a radio apparatus and a calibration method capable of calibrating transmission characteristics of the transmission circuit and the receiving circuit in a simple structure at a low cost without providing a specific measuring circuit.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 1999Date of Patent: March 22, 2005Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshiharu Doi, Toshinori Iinuma

Patent number: 6771985Abstract: When signals for two mobile stations PS-A and PS-B are multiplexed using path division, a clock generating unit 52 generates a clock signal so as to delay the timing for transmitting symbols to the mobile station PS-B by 0.5 symbol periods relative to the transmission of symbols to the mobile station PS-A. If the transmission timing is adjusted in this way, a mobile station that picks up symbols which are spatially multiplexed with the signal for the present mobile station but are intended for another mobile station will not be synchronized with the symbols for the other mobile station.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2000Date of Patent: August 3, 2004Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventor: Toshinori Iinuma

Patent number: 6754512Abstract: A wireless base station includes a determining unit, a first calculation unit and a control unit. The determining unit determines a direction in which a specified mobile station that is to be spatially-multiplexed is located. Then, the first calculating unit calculates a first parameter group, used to form a first directional pattern for each already connected mobile station that should be spatially-multiplexed with the specified mobile station. The first directional pattern is such that a null point is formed in the determined direction. After a link channel allocation has been transmitted to the specified mobile station, the control unit performs control, so that transmission is performed to each already connected mobile station by forming the corresponding first directional pattern and further by reducing transmission power uniformly in all directions.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2000Date of Patent: June 22, 2004Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventor: Toshinori Iinuma
