Abstract

In this radiation measurement device, first and second pulse height detection circuits (3a, 3b) output pulse height detection signals that rise when a detection pulse obtained from a radiation detector (1) becomes larger than a lower threshold value Lsh or upper threshold value Hsh, respectively, and fall when the detection pulse becomes smaller than the lower threshold value Lsh or upper threshold value Hsh, respectively. Next, first and second rising and falling detection circuits (11a, 11b) are used to detect the rising and falling edges of the pulse height detection signals from the first and second pulse height detection circuits (3a, 3b) in synchronization with a clock pulse from a crystal oscillator (10). A combination circuit (12) combines the outputs from the first and second rising and falling detection circuits (11a, 11b) in synchronization with the clock pulse and thereby outputs a signal corresponding to the part of the detection pulse in the range between the lower threshold value Lsh and upper threshold value Hsh.

Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to obtain a radar device capable of reducing directly propagated clutter and multi-path clutter included in reception signals. In this radar device, a correlation matrix calculation unit (6) calculates an unwanted signal correlation matrix using an unwanted signal steering vector determined on the basis of the transmission angle (DOD angle) of an unwanted signal and the arrival angle (DOA angle) of the unwanted signal. A diagonal load processing unit (7) carries out diagonal load processing on the unwanted signal correlation matrix. A window function calculation unit (8) uses the unwanted signal correlation matrix R that has been subjected to diagonal load processing to calculate a window function for obtaining a side lobe characteristic for reducing the unwanted signal. A window function application unit (9) applies the window function to reception signal vectors. A beam formation unit (10) forms a MIMO beam on the basis of the reception signal vectors that have had the window function applied thereto and a beam directivity angle.

Abstract

The transmission unit generates a transmission signal obtained by multiplying a linearly FM-modulated pulse signal by a first window function. The pulse compression unit divides a signal, which is obtained by multiplying a first reference signal obtained by multiplying the pulse signal by a second window function different from the first window function, by a complex conjugate part of a second reference signal obtained by multiplying the pulse signal by a third window function, which is a function independent of the second window function, by a complex conjugate part of the transmission signal, and uses this as a reference signal. Then, the pulse compression unit performs pulse compression on the received signal using the reference signal.

Abstract

A microwave power transmission apparatus (50, 150) on the sea or on land converts electric energy generated by a power generator (1) or from a commercial power supply into microwaves, and transmits the microwaves to a microwave power receiver (7, 107) on land or on the sea. A power transmission antenna (8, 108) to emit the microwaves is directed to a direction of the microwave power receiver (7, 107), including a power reception antenna (9, 109) having a directivity, by a driver (11, 111). When a beacon receiver (5, 105) detects a beacon signal SB transmitted by the microwave power receiver (7, 107), a transmission signal generator (16, 116) generates a transmission signal emitted as microwaves from the power transmission antenna (8, 108). Radio waves are not emitted from the power transmission antenna (8, 108) in a case where the beacon signal is not detected, the case corresponding to a situation where motion of either the power transmission antenna (8, 108) or the power reception antenna (9, 109) being on the sea causes change in its orientation direction and the power reception antenna (9, 109) cannot receive the radio waves emitted by the power transmission antenna (8, 108). In this manner, there can be provided a wireless electric power transmission apparatus and an electric power transfer system that can prevent the occurrence of a situation where the microwaves are emitted when the power receiver (7, 107) cannot receive the microwaves even when affected by motion.

Abstract

In this coordinate correction device (100), a coordinate acquisition unit (110) acquires the coordinates of a series of touch locations on a touch panel (103) while a touch operation is continued on the touch panel (103). When the coordinate acquisition unit (110) has acquired first coordinates, which are the coordinates of a new touch location, a coordinate correction unit (120) applies, to the first coordinates, a weighting that varies according to the distance traveled between touch locations on the touch panel (103), and calculates weighted averages of the weighted first coordinates and second coordinates which are determined from the coordinates of a past touch location that are acquired by the coordinate acquisition unit (110). The coordinate correction unit (120) outputs the calculation results as corrected coordinates. An application unit (130) uses the corrected coordinates.

Abstract

A method for decoding a set of packets asynchronously on same nominal carrier frequency transmitted over a common communication medium, receives a signal including a combination of the set of packets modified with noise of the common communication medium, each packet includes a preamble common to all packets in the set and a payload unique for at least some packets in the set. The method determines, using a sparse recovery, a frequency offset of the transmission of each packet from the carrier frequency, a time offset of the transmission of each packet from a common point in time, and a channel gain corresponding to the transmission of each packet over a channel in the common communication medium and decodes the payloads of the packets in the set using the frequency offsets, the time offsets, and the channel gains.

Abstract

Whether or not motion compensation is necessary is determined for each of received radio wave signals acquired through observation on the basis of information on a difference between an planned trajectory and an actual trajectory of a platform (103), and a motion compensation process is performed on the received radio wave signals for which the motion compensation is determined to be necessary. An image generation process is performed on the received radio wave signals on which the motion compensation process has been performed and the received radio wave signals on which the motion compensation process has not been performed depending on the results of determination, so that a SAR image of an observation object is generated.

Abstract

In a conventional circuit breaker with an input resistance, a potential difference can exist when a switch of the circuit breaker, which enables current to flow through the resistor, is closed before the main contact of the circuit breaker is closed. This can result in an undesirable surge voltage. The present invention mitigates this surge voltage by providing a power switching control device that includes units to: measure a power-supply-side voltage of the circuit breaker; calculate a current flowing through the resistor when only the switch is closed; determine a target closing time so that a target turn-on phase for the circuit breaking unit is set in accordance with the capacitor; and close the main contact at the target closing time.

A low-pass filter (8), a second linearizer (10), and a second phase shifter (12) disposed on the second transmission line (6) adjust the phase and amplitude of an intermodulation distortion in a high-frequency range. A synthesizer (4) synthesizes the signal from the first transmission line (5) and the signal from the second transmission line (6).

Abstract

A transmission module (30) includes n oscillator modules (50) and a phase command signal generation unit (40). Each of the oscillator modules (50) has a voltage control oscillator (60) and an amplification unit (70). The voltage control oscillators (60) output transmission high-frequency signals having the same frequency, the transmission high-frequency signals being synchronized among the n oscillator modules (50), due to a synchronization command based on a shared reference signal (Sr). The amplification units (70) electrically amplify and output the transmission high-frequency signals from the voltage control oscillators (60). The phases of the synchronized transmission high-frequency signals outputted from the voltage control oscillators (60) among the n oscillator modules (50) are controlled individually in accordance with n phase command signals (f1*-fn*) from the phase command signal generation unit (40).
