A high-frequency signal processing apparatus and a wireless communication apparatus can achieve a decrease in power consumption. For example, when an indicated power level to a high-frequency power amplifier is equal to or greater than a second reference value, envelope tracking is performed by causing a source voltage control circuit to control a high-speed DCDC converter using a detection result of an envelope detecting circuit and causing a bias control circuit to indicate a fixed bias value. The source voltage control circuit and the bias control circuit indicate a source voltage and a bias value decreasing in proportion to a decrease in the indicated power level when the indicated power level is in a range of the second reference value to the first reference value, and indicate a fixed source voltage and a fixed bias value when the indicated power level is less than the first reference value.

Abstract

An acoustic wave device is provided that includes a piezoelectric layer including lithium niobate or lithium tantalate, and a series arm resonator and a parallel arm resonator that each include at least a pair of a first electrode and a second electrode on the piezoelectric layer. The acoustic wave device uses a bulk wave in a first thickness-shear mode. Moreover, a film thickness of a first portion of the piezoelectric layer in the series arm resonator is different from a film thickness of a second portion of the piezoelectric layer in the parallel arm resonator. In each of the series arm resonator and the parallel arm resonator, assuming a film thickness of the piezoelectric layer is d and a distance between centers of the first electrode and the second electrode adjacent to each other is p, a ratio d/p is less than or equal to about 0.5.

Abstract

A tire observation apparatus includes an imager to acquire image information on a traveling vehicle, a trajectory estimator, a position adjuster, and a movable assembly. The trajectory estimator is operable to estimate a trajectory of a tire based on image information obtained at at least one point in time and tire information including at least one of a width, a diameter, and a groove pattern of the tire. The position adjuster calculates, based on the trajectory, an adjustment amount that satisfies observation conditions regarding a position and an angle of the imager to observe a state of the tire. The movable assembly changes the position and the angle of the imager based on the adjustment amount.
