    摘要: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce power consumption of a satellite broadcast receiver receiving a plurality of signals from satellites selectively.
    SOLUTION: The satellite broadcast receiver comprises a plurality of signal converting sections provided in correspondence with a plurality of signals being transmitted from satellites and performing frequency conversion of corresponding signals before being output, signal terminals for inputting/outputting electric signals, signal selection circuits provided between the plurality of signal converting sections and the signal terminals and transmitting desired signals among signals outputted from the plurality of signal converting sections to the signal terminals, and a power supply control section for controlling voltage supply to the plurality of signal converting sections. The power supply control section supplies an operation voltage to the signal converting sections selected depending on a control signal among the plurality of signal converting sections and stops operation voltage supply to other signal converting sections.

    摘要: A reconfigurable antenna capable of dynamic reconfigurability of several antenna parameters. Specifically, the present invention is an antenna comprising a plurality of surface PIN devices arranged in a gridlike array. Each of the SPIN devices can be individually activated or deactivated. When a SPIN device is activated, the surface of the device is injected with carriers such that a plasma is produced within the intrinsic region of the device. The plasma can be sufficiently conductive to produce conductor or metal like characteristics at the surface of the device. Various ones of the SPIN devices can be activated to electronically paint a conductive pattern upon the substrate supporting the PIN devices. Through selective activation of the SPIN devices various surface antenna patterns can be produced upon the substrate including dipoles, cross dipoles, loop antennas, Yagi-Uda type antennas, log periodic antennas, and the like. Additionally, the SPIN device grid may be selectively activated to produce holographic antennas. In a holographic antenna the SPIN devices are activated to produce a simulated metallization pattern that is excited by a surface RF wave transmitted onto the substrate from a surface mounted dipole antenna. The surface wave excites a particular antenna pattern depending upon the shape of the activated SPIN devices. Changing the pattern of the holographic antenna elements causes a beam steering and/or frequency adjustments of the antenna.

    摘要: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an arrival-direction estimation apparatus for efficiently controlling a transmitting-receiving beam, by estimating an arrival direction of a desired signal with a comparatively simple configuration. SOLUTION: The arrival-direction estimation apparatus is provided with a multibeam formation part 2 used, to form a multibeam by using received signals of antenna elements A1 to AK; reverse modulation parts 3-1 to 3-J used to reversely modulate an output signal of each beam by a known symbol train; a power-ratio estimation part 4, used to estimate a power ratio of the desired signal to an interference component on the basis of output signals of the parts 3-1 to 3-J; and a monopulse goniometric signal processing part 5, in which the output signal after inverse modulation of the beam having a largest estimated power ratio is selected as a sum signal and which estimates the arrival direction of the signal by a monopulse goniometric signal processing operation, together with a difference signal forming a pair with the selected beam.
