A control unit repeats the series of processing of comparing a first phase representing a phase of the first reference sine wave and being a phase included in the first synchronization signal, with a second phase that is the phase of the second reference sine wave when the first synchronization signal is received when the communication unit receives the first synchronization signal from the other inverter generator, changing a phase change amount per unit time of the second reference sine wave in accordance with the comparison result, continuing to update the phase of the second reference sine wave so that the phase of the second reference sine wave changes with a phase change amount per unit time after the change with reference to the first phase until the next first synchronizing signal is received from the other inverter generator.

Carbon dioxide containing gas is blown into a calcium hydroxide slurry having a calcium hydroxide concentration of 100 to 400 g/L obtained by wet slaking calcined lime with 4 N hydrochloric acid activity (value at 3 minutes) of 150 to 400 mL to allow them to react until the carbonation rate becomes 50 to 85%, then 1 to 20% by volume of the calcium hydroxide slurry is added, and carbon dioxide containing gas is further blown in to terminate the reaction.

When spherical calcium carbonate is produced by blowing a carbon dioxide gas or a carbon dioxide-containing gas into an aqueous suspension containing calcium hydroxide to react them, after start of the reaction, an aqueous solution or suspension of a water-soluble phosphoric acid compound or a water-soluble salt thereof is added to the reaction mixture when carbonation ratio reaches 2 to 10%, and the reaction is further allowed to continue at a low gas blowing rate of 1.0 NL/minute or lower (step (a)).

An interference canceling device comprising a flat phase IF narrow band BPF. A signal which has been branched from a signal on the main line is filtered by the BPF and is recombined with the signal on the main line. Phase rotation caused by frequency separation from the pass band center frequency does not occur because the phase characteristics of the BPF are substantially flat in the pass band. Thus, interference existing not only in a pin-point frequency, but over a band of frequencies can be cancelled.

A feed-forward amplifier and a controller thereof. Two types of second pilot signals, sum frequency and difference frequency of a base pilot signal and a local oscillation signal, are generated by an injection-side mixer and injected into a distortion detection loop. Part of a signal appearing at an output terminal is branched, converted in frequency by a detection-side mixer using the local oscillation signal, filtered by a narrow-band filter, input to a synchronizing detector with the filtered output of the filter as error signals, and synchronizing detected with reference to the base pilot signal so as to generate control signals for a distortion rejection loop. The spectrums of the second pilot signals may be spread. A process to cancel the input signal component at the detection side may be performed. A simple circuit configuration enhances the distortion component rejection and suppression effect and shortens the time required until an optimum control state is established.

Feed-forward amplifier and controller of the same

An amplifier with feedforward loops for rejecting non-linear distortion and control circuitry for such amplifier and employing a distortion compensation method. A signal from a dominant path is input into a synchronizing detector via an ALC circuit as a reference signal. Using this reference signal, an error signal output from a distortion rejection loop is subjected to synchronizing detection. An offset voltage of a mixer inside the synchronizing detector can be prevented from varying due to change in local level. Outputs from synchronizing detectors are used for control to optimize corresponding loops. As a pilot signal for a distortion detection loop can be eliminated, undesirable spurious effects due to such a pilot signal is avoided. The acquisition time of each of the loops can be shortened because an optimizing control using a step-by-step procedure under CPU control can be eliminated.

In an FET switch for controllably allowing and inhibiting passage of an input signal in ON state and OFF state, respectively, FETs are connected in a multi-stage configuration. A control voltage adjusting circuit is connected between a gate and one of a drain and a source of each FET. The control voltage adjusting circuit adjusts a gate-source voltage so as to follow the variation of a drain-source voltage. The input voltage applied to the FET switch in OFF state is divided by the plurality of FETs. Since the variation of the gate-source voltage follows the variation of the drain-source voltage, the FET switch is hardly influenced by an amplitude of the input signal.

A delay detection circuit and a low-noise oscillation circuit using such a delay detection circuit. When the oscillation output of a VCO is to be supplied to two high frequency mixers, a .pi./2 phase shifter 24 in the front stage of one of the high frequency mixers gives a quadrature form. High frequency components are removed from the output voltage of the high frequency mixers by LPF. DC components are also removed from the output voltage of the high frequency mixers by HPF. The output voltages of low frequency mixers contain secondary phase noise components proportional to squared phase noise components and primary phase noise components proportional to the phase noise components and also depending on the delay time .tau. of a delay unit. When the output voltage of one of the low frequency mixers is subtracted from the output voltage of the other low frequency mixer, the secondary phase noise components are offset and the dependence on the delay time .tau. is removed from the primary phase noise components. The resulting voltage is used as a control voltage for the VCO (10). No voltage control delay unit or feedback loop for controlling it are required.
