Abstract:
An antenna apparatus includes, a ring-shaped antenna element positioned on a first plane; a grounding conductive plate positioned on a second plane parallel to the antenna element; a conductive member that is positioned on a side farther from a center position of the first plane enclosed by an outer periphery of the antenna element; and a power supply terminal. The power supply point is positioned in a predetermined nearby range from a boundary between a first region and a second region that include first and second angle ranges symmetrical with relation to the center position. The conductive member is positioned in at least one of the first region and the second region, and is provided in a position in which a spreading width from the center position in a distance direction are made different between the first region and the second region by the antenna element and the conductive member.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a radio-controlled timepiece. The radio-controlled timepiece includes an oscillating unit, a display unit, a display driving unit, an error storage unit, a radio wave receiving unit, and a frequency setting unit. The display driving unit drives the display unit with a driving signal of a predetermined driving waveform frequency generated by the clock signal output by the oscillating unit. The error storage unit stores error data of an oscillating frequency. The radio wave receiving unit tunes to a receiving frequency of a radio wave including time information, and receives the radio wave. The frequency setting unit sets the driving waveform frequency based on the error data so that the receiving frequency does not overlap with a higher order harmonic wave of the driving waveform frequency during a period that the radio wave is received.
Abstract:
A time information obtaining device and a radio-controlled timepiece are shown. According to one implementation, the time information obtaining device includes a noise determining section and a reception cancelling section. The noise determining section determines whether noise mixed in a demodulated signal of a radio wave received within a predetermined unit of time is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold level. The reception cancelling section cancels reception of the radio wave when a number of times that the noise determining section determines that the noise mixed in the signal is equal to or more than a predetermined level is included at a percentage equal to or more than a predetermined percentage within a set time including a plurality of the units of time.
