    摘要: There is provided a demodulator that makes it possible to reduce or avoid deterioration in demodulation performance due to nonlinearity of input amplitude-frequency characteristics of a variable capacitive element included in an analog control signal input section of a frequency variable oscillator, while suppressing an influence of noise. The demodulator includes: a low-resolution A/D converter that performs analog-digital conversion of a first phase difference signal to generate a second phase difference signal that is digital; a low-resolution D/A converter that performs digital-analog conversion of the second phase difference signal to generate a third phase difference signal; an analog subtractor that subtracts the third phase difference signal from the first phase difference signal to generate a first control signal; an ADPLL that generates a second control signal; and an FVO that generates the oscillation signal on the basis of the first control signal and the second control signal.

    摘要: Provided are a power supply device, a power receiving device, a charging system, and an obstacle detection method that obtain a sufficient obstacle detection sensitivity even when an obstacle is small. A modulation unit (202) performs amplitude modulation or phase modulation on a test data sequence output from a test data sequence storage unit (201). A power control unit (203) generates, according to an instruction from a determination unit (204), a power control signal for increasing the power level of the test data sequence every time when the test data sequence is transmitted. The determination unit (204) determines whether there is an obstacle between the power receiving device and the power supply device based on whether the test data sequence output from the test data sequence storage unit (201) coincides with the test data sequence output from a power-transmitting-side receiving circuit (124).

    摘要: A periodically resetting integration angle demodulation device and a method using the same is disclosed, which uses a waveform multiplier and a periodically resetting integrator to modulate a continuous-time angle modulation signal into a discrete-time signal. The waveform multiplier multiplies the continuous-time angle modulation signal by a square wave signal whose frequency is integer times a carrier frequency, and then transmits the continuous-time angle modulation signal to a periodically resetting integrated circuit. The periodically resetting integrated circuit performs integration during a carrier period to generate a discrete-time angle modulation output signal. The present invention can greatly reduce the difficulty for designing an optical sensing system in the front end without limiting a modulation depth. Besides, the present invention achieves a small volume, high speed, high sensitivity, high reliability, high performance and high condition-adapting properties.

    摘要: A regenerative selective logarithmic detector amplifier (LDA) can have integrated FM demodulation capabilities. It can receive a wired or wireless FM modulated signal and amplify or demodulate it with high sensitivity, high skirt ratio and minimized noise when compared to the prior art. When used in conjunction with other circuits such as a PLL or mixer, it can improve interference rejection and frequency selectivity and be locked on a precise channel in frequency and phase. The LDA produces intermittent oscillations that are self-quenched when reaching a given threshold. It also embeds the circuitry to perform direct FM discrimination. FM demodulation process is completed by a simple analog or digital frequency to voltage converter. This plus the fact that the instantaneous regeneration gain is low-medium permit to detect signals of small amplitudes buried in the noise.

    摘要: In an ultra-wideband (“UWB”) receiver, a received UWB signal is periodically digitized as a series of ternary samples. The samples are continuously correlated with a predetermined preamble sequence to develop a correlation value. When the value exceeds a predetermined threshold, indicating that the preamble sequence is being received, estimates of the channel impulse response (“CIR”) are developed. When a start-of-frame delimiter (“SFD”) is detected, the best CIR estimate is provided to a channel matched filter (“CMF”) substantially to filter channel-injected noise.

    摘要: Described herein is a wireless transceiver and related method that enables ultra low power transmission and reception of wireless communications. In an example embodiment of the wireless transceiver, the wireless transceiver receives a first-reference signal having a first-reference frequency. The wireless transceiver then uses the first-reference signal to injection lock a local oscillator, which provides a set of oscillation signals each having an oscillation frequency that is equal to the first-reference frequency, and each having equally spaced phases. Then the wireless transceiver combines the set of oscillation signals into an output signal having an output frequency that is one of (i) a multiple of the first-reference frequency (in accordance with a transmitter implementation) or (ii) a difference of (a) a second-reference frequency of a second-reference signal and (b) a multiple of the first- reference frequency (in accordance with a receiver implementation).
