Abstract:
A planar light-emitting device has a plurality of light-emitting units each including a light source and a lightguide plate. The light-emitting units are arranged with the light-exiting surfaces of their respective lightguide plates being substantially flush with each other. Each lightguide plate has an upper surface as a light-exiting surface, a lower surface opposite to the light-exiting surface, and a peripheral side surface extending between the respective peripheral edges of the upper and lower surfaces. The lightguide plate emits light received from the light source from the light-exiting surface. At least a part of the peripheral side surface is an inclined surface inclined relative to the light-exiting surface.

An object of the present invention is to increase measurement precision for measuring errors of a quadrature demodulator. An error measurement device 10 receives an I signal and a Q signal from a quadrature demodulator 4 for demodulating a signal to be demodulated including multiple carrier signals respectively different from each other in frequency, and measures a gain imbalance which is a ratio of the amplitude of the Q signal to the amplitude of the I signal. Further, the error measurement device 10 includes an I-signal amplitude deriving unit 14I which derives the amplitude of the I signal for the respective carrier signals, a Q-signal amplitude deriving unit 14Q which derives the amplitude of the Q signal for the respective carrier signals, a carrier amplitude ratio deriving unit 16a which derives a ratio of the amplitude of the Q signal to the amplitude of the I signal for the respective carrier signals based on the results derived by the I-signal amplitude deriving unit 14I and the Q-signal amplitude deriving unit 14Q, and an averaging unit 18a which derives the gain imbalance GB by averaging the results derived by the carrier amplitude ratio deriving unit 16a.
Abstract:
An actuator for automobiles has a housing in which a communication channel for ventilation is formed, the communication channel allowing the inside and the outside of the housing to communicate with each other. Only one communication channel is formed, and the communication channel has an ascending portion that increases in height toward the inside of the housing. The ascending portion is formed so that a vertically lowermost point of the end (a second opening) of the ascending portion on the inner side of the housing is positioned higher than an uppermost point of the end (a first opening) of the ascending portion on the outer side of the housing. With such a configuration, condensation in the housing is minimized, and the risk of malfunction due to entrance of water is minimized.
Abstract:
An accuracy of a symbol modulation is accurately measured. A symbol modulation accuracy measuring device receives a signal to be measured from a signal output device, which outputs ideal symbol data generated by the ideal symbol data generating unit, and modulated by the symbol modulation unit according to a symbol modulation as the signal to be measured, via a memory, and measures the accuracy of the symbol modulation. The symbol modulation accuracy measuring device includes a symbol demodulation unit that demodulates the signal to be measured according to a symbol demodulation, and a modulation accuracy measuring unit that measures the accuracy of the symbol modulation based on a result of the demodulation by the symbol demodulation unit, and the ideal symbol data recorded in the ideal symbol data generating unit of the signal output device. The symbol modulation accuracy measuring unit acquires the ideal symbol data from the ideal symbol data generating unit via a digital interface or a recording medium.

Abstract:
A multi-input amplitude and phase measuring method is disclosed for measuring the amplitudes and the phases of measurement signals at a high speed and with a high degree of reliability. Measurement signals received by antennae are converted into IF signals with local signals of frequencies f.sub.LO +.DELTA.f, f.sub.LO +2.DELTA.f, f.sub.LO +3.DELTA.f, f.sub.LO +4.DELTA.f by a mixer and then added by an adder, whereafter they are multiplied by an analog multiplier to convert phase information of the measurement signals into signals of frequencies .DELTA.f, 2.DELTA.f, 3.DELTA.f, 4.DELTA.f. Then, the signals obtained by the conversion are A/D converted and Fourier transformed to determine a spectrum. Then, in order to eliminate an influence of phase displacement by band-pass filters, the local signals are added by an adder and multiplied by a local signal of frequency f.sub.LO by a mixer, and the resultant signal is A/D converted and Fourier transformed to determine a spectrum. A cross spectrum of the two spectra is calculated by a cross spectrum calculator to measure the amplitudes and the phases of the measurement signals.
