A receiving apparatus includes a receiving unit that receives expected waves, and a control unit that sets the receiving unit to an operational state that has a lower electricity consumption within a range in which reception performance is allowed, depending on interference waves with respect to the expected waves that the receiving unit receives.

Television receiving apparatus and television receiving method

A tuner module includes a tuner module substrate having a tuner function part formed thereon, a case body having a shielding function of holding and incorporating at least the tuner module substrate, a circuit board on which the tuner module substrate is mounted, and at least one antenna connector to be fixed to the case body and having a core wire connected to the tuner module substrate incorporated in the case body. A part of the circuit board is contained inside the case body.

Tuner module and receiving device

The present invention relates to a receiver capable of reducing influence of disturbance waves and capable of receiving analog and digital broadcast signals without interference with a single front end module, without leading to complexity of the configuration. A receiverincludes, on a module board, a first terrestrial wave tunerand second terrestrial wave tunerwhich receive broadcast signals of a first frequency band, and a first satellite wave tunerwhich receives broadcast signals of a second frequency band different from the first frequency band, with the first satellite wave tunerbeing situated between the first terrestrial wave tunerand the second terrestrial wave tuner. The present invention can be applied to receivers receiving broadcast signals of different frequency bands, for example.

Receiver

An electronic apparatus is provided and includes a first IC having an internal configuration section, a nonvolatile memory, and an interface section. The electronic apparatus also includes a second IC having a signal processing section, and a correction-data supplying section.

Electronic apparatus, electronic-apparatus adjustment method and integrated circuit

A tuner device includes tuner circuits, where each of the tuner circuits includes a radio frequency amplifier amplifying a radio frequency signal of a transmitted broadcast wave, a frequency mixing circuit performing frequency conversion for the transmitted radio frequency signal, and a local oscillation circuit transmitting a local oscillation signal to the frequency mixing circuit, wherein the local oscillation circuit includes, at least, a reference signal source, a first frequency divider, and a second frequency divider, oscillates a local oscillation signal having a local oscillation frequency, and makes a difference between local oscillation frequencies of the tuner circuits, the difference being generated when the tuner circuits receive the broadcast waves of the same frequency, greater than or equal to a predetermined value.

Tuner device

A front-end module for receiving analog and digital broadcast signals is provided. The front-end module includes frequency conversion means, digital satellite demodulation means, intermediate frequency conversion means, analog demodulation means, digital terrestrial demodulation means, filtering means, and a grounding arrangement common to a digital and an analog circuit sections.

Front-end module and television set

The invention provides a method and an apparatus for measuring a flow rate which can determine a flow rate of a fluid, particularly a slowly flowing fluid, with an improved accuracy, without requiring a complicated flow rate-measuring system. A system for measuring a flow rate of a fluid flowing within a tube is composed of an upstream side piezoelectric element and a downstream side piezoelectric element mounted on a surface of a tube and is operated by applying an impulse voltage to one piezoelectric element to generate a shock to produce a shock wave in the fluid moving in the tube; receiving the shock wave transmitted through the fluid by another piezoelectric element and then applying an impulse voltage to the latter piezoelectric element to generate a shock to produce a shock wave in the fluid in the tube and receiving the shock wave transmitted through the fluid by the former piezoelectric element; and comparing the received waves to determine the flow rate of the fluid, in which the flow rate of the moving fluid is determined by processing the received waves based on a newly discovered phenomenon in that there is a relationship between a flow rate of fluid and a wave height or an integral value of a composite wave; otherwise the flow rate of a moving fluid under measurement can be determined according to a difference of periods of time required for transmitting the shock waves.
