20100271124 | Distortion Compensation Device - A distortion in an amplified signal obtained by amplifying a first input signal, is compensated for by applying a correction factor to the first input signal. The correction factor is updated based on the first input signal and the amplified signal. Updating the correction factor is prohibited when a value of the first input signal is same as a value of a second input signal among a plurality of input signals input previous to the first input signal. | 10-28-2010 |
20100310007 | Filter Device - An input signal to a filter device is allowed to be written into one of a plurality of sequentially connected cells if the input signal is not the zero-valued sample. Each cell receives the input signal and multiplies the input signal by one of a plurality of weight coefficients. The input signal is stopped to be written into any of the cells if the input signal is the zero-valued sample. A result of a filtering operation is output from the last cell. | 12-09-2010 |
