Title: Innovations of Yukio Ohtaki
Introduction
Yukio Ohtaki is a prominent inventor based in Fukushima-ken, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of digital signal processing and antenna technology. With a total of 8 patents to his name, Ohtaki's work has had a considerable impact on the industry.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a digital signal receiver that includes a wideband tunable antenna device. This invention features a digital tuner unit that receives a digital signal in a reception channel with a predetermined bandwidth. The tuner unit is connected to an antenna device containing radiation conductors and varactor diodes. The digital reception signal output from the tuner is input to a demodulation circuit, where it undergoes demodulation. An SP level detection unit within the demodulation circuit detects levels of multiple spread pilot signals in the reception channel's bandwidth. It calculates a correction amount for the tuning voltage to minimize level differences to a predetermined value or less. This correction amount is reported to an antenna tuning control unit to adjust the tuning voltage supplied to the antenna device.
Another notable patent is a vehicle-mounted receiving apparatus designed to reduce distortion, improve reception sensitivity, and save power. In this invention, a first low-noise amplifier is connected to a first receiving processing unit through a first cable. A bypass circuit is provided in parallel to the first low-noise amplifier to bypass it when necessary. If the intensity of the broadcasting signal exceeds a predetermined value, and the C/N ratio falls between two specific thresholds, the broadcasting signal is transmitted through the first low-noise amplifier. However, if the C/N ratio is below the first threshold or above the second, the signal bypasses the amplifier and is transmitted through the bypass circuit.
