    Abstract: A signal modulation apparatus includes: a reference signal generator that generates an analog reference signal by removing at least one harmonic signal component corresponding to at least one higher-order frequency from a triangular wave signal; a modulation signal generator that performs pulse width modulation for comparing the analog reference signal with an analog input signal, thereby to generate an analog modulation signal; a digital signal converter that converts the analog modulation signal to a digital output signal; and a nonlinear converter that performs nonlinear conversion corresponding to waveform conversion for converting the triangular wave signal to the analog reference signal, on the digital output signal or the analog input signal.

    Abstract: In a data carrier apparatus, a first determination unit determines a duty ratio of each pulse of a pulse signal received from a data carrier driving apparatus, and a second determination unit determines a frequency of each pulse of the received pulse signal. A calibration unit performs calibration of a reference value to be used for determination performed by the second determination unit, during a calibration period. A demodulation unit demodulates data conveyed by the received pulse signal. The demodulation unit performs first demodulation based on a determination result of the first determination unit during the calibration period, and start second demodulation based on the determination result of the first determination unit and a determination result of the second determination unit when the calibration period ends.

    Abstract: A communication system is configured to use a pulse width modulation signal as transmission code among a plurality of nodes connected to a communication line. A master node includes a transmission transistor connected to the communication line, a detector configured to detect a variation in current during the on-period of the transmission transistor, and a communication circuit configured to determine the off-timing of the transmission transistor based on the timing of occurrence of the variation in current (i.e., the on-timing of a second transmission transistor provided in a slave node). For example, the communication circuit can be configured to determine the off-timing of the transmission transistor such that the simultaneously-on period TB of the transmission transistor and the second transmission transistor fulfills TB=(2n−1)/2f, where f is the frequency of EMI noise.

    Abstract: A pulse width modulation (PWM) system includes a PWM circuit and a controller. The PWM circuit includes a counter, a period register, and a duty cycle register. The controller is coupled to the PWM circuit. The controller is configured to calculate a period value and a duty cycle value. The controller is also configured to load the duty cycle value into the duty cycle register responsive to a count value of the counter being equal to a value of the duty cycle register and the duty cycle value being less than the period value.

    Abstract: A receiver can include a first set of one or more amplifier stages configured to amplify input signals in a plurality of communication bands. The receiver can further include a second and third set of one or more amplifier stages. The second set of one or more amplifier stages can be configured to selectively receive the input signals in the plurality of communication bands amplified by the first set of one or more amplifier stages and to amplify one or more input signals in a first one of the plurality of communication bands. Alternatively, the third set of one or more amplifier stages can be configured to selectively receive the input signals in the plurality of communication bands amplified by the first set of one or more amplifier stages and to amplify one or more input signals in a second one of the plurality of communication bands. A first set of one or more mixers can be configured to receive the input signals in the first communication band amplified by the second set of one or more amplifier stages, to receive one or more local oscillator signals for the first communication band, and to generate a baseband signal from a frequency difference of the signal of the first communication band and the one or more local oscillator signals for the first communication band. A second set of one or more mixers can be configured to receive the input signal in the second communication band amplified by the third set of one or more amplifier stages, to receive one or more local oscillator signals for the second communication band, and to generate a baseband signal of the second communication band.
