Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect and compensate a frequency offset generated between a transmitter and a receiver in wireless communication. SOLUTION: In the receiver using a 1bit-AD converter to make binary hard decisions, n-fold (n is a natural number ≥3) oversampling is performed, then a symbol decision value is obtained, a timing correlation value is calculated for each of a plurality of partition phases (phase 1, phase 2, phase 3), and a cumulative timing correlation value for a predetermined period or number of additions is calculated. Whether the sampling frequency of the receiver is higher or lower than a correct symbol rate is determined from the value, a sampling position is appropriately shifted, and reception is performed while maintaining the correct sampling position at all times. Since the sampling position is always tracked, data deviation caused by a frequency offset is compensated on the fly. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a digital filter that enables a high-speed operation with a small amount of circuitry, and that achieves higher accuracy. SOLUTION: The digital filter can operate runtime processing at a high rate of speed only with table reference so that the filter can meet the limit on the power spectral density with the effective number of bits for the DAC being fewer than in the conventional art. The digital filter gives a sequence pattern that represents directions of positive and negative transitions of the phase that continue over a predetermined number from a certain reference symbol to an adjoining (next) reference symbol, finds one or more interpolate symbols that meet conditions of a predetermined frequency spectrum (band), and a predetermined (range of) amplitude with reference to the given sequence pattern, and stores the found sequence pattern and a phase value and an amplitude value corresponding to the found one or more interpolate symbols in a memory as a lookup table.

SOLUTION: The system includes: a plurality of nodes 20 which receive only optical signals, the wavelength or position space of which is assigned to the nodes, and transmit optical signals, the wavelength or position space of which is assigned to other nodes, to the other nodes; and a ring network 30 which time division multiplexes a plurality of optical signals and transmits them. The ring network 30 forms slots to transmit various wavelength optical signals, and includes information which indicates whether or not each slot has optical signals to be transmitted. The node 20 includes: an update means 25 where information included in a slot corresponding to a node which receives optical signals is not checked and the information is updated to information which indicates the existence of optical signals; and a determination means 26 for operating in the same clock cycle as information update executed by the update means 25 and determining whether or not to transmit optical signals based on the information.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: To provide the storage system of a new static memory cell using a quantum element and the structure of the memory cell. CONSTITUTION: A static memory cell has at least three conducting layers 20a to 20c, which are separated from each other with insulating layers 10 among them, a first potential imparting means 24 for imparting a prescribed potential difference between the layers 20a and 20c, through which a tunneling current is not made to flow directly to each other, out of these layers 20a to 20c, and a second potential imparting means 25 connected with the layer 20b, through which the tunneling current can be made to flow between the layers 20a and 20c. A quantum mechanical confinement of free electrons is made to these layers 20a to 20c. In this way, the static memory cell has a structure simpler than that of a static memory cell which is presently used, and the area of the static memory cell is equal with that of a DRAM cell. Moreover, since the circuit of the memory cell is constituted complementarily, a stand-by current in the circuit is reduced markedly.
Abstract:
Problem To restore data in a transmitted symbol sequence without aligning the clock of the receiver with the clock of the transmitter. Solution Received data oversampled twice is polyphased by the receiver, feedback is applied using an adaptive algorithm, and the filter coefficients (tap coefficient sequence) of a compensation filter are simultaneously shifted when the data shifts. The sampling frequency and the phase offset can be compensated for on the fly using a filter combining a tapped filter whose initial value is a correlation value obtained from the preamble and header of a received signal, and a wavefront aligner. In this configuration, a resampling filter circuit, an equalization filter circuit and a decimation filter circuit are realized in a single compensation filter circuit, which is much smaller than the prior art circuits in terms of size.
