Latest Patents

Matsubara’s listed patents address synchronization and channel scanning in radio systems.

“Spread Spectrum Communication Apparatus” reduces communication interruption after a receiver loses frame synchronization. Once synchronization is restored, the apparatus uses the signal strength measured just before the loss to decide whether to perform ID certification. If the signal was strong, certification is performed; if it was weak, certification is skipped, allowing communication to resume sooner.

“Radio Apparatus” describes a limited-channel scanning mode for parent and child units. The parent scans a channel group selected based on the last channel used, while the child intermittently scans the same group. Scanning fewer channels shortens the child unit’s scan period and helps conserve battery power. If interference occurs, the apparatus switches channels and updates the channel group accordingly.
