    摘要: A digital signal process unit includes a first cancel signal generation unit and a second cancel signal generation unit. The first cancel signal generation unit generates, as a first cancel signal component, a cancel signal component corresponding to an image signal included in an analog signal output from a mixer. The second cancel signal generation unit generates, as a second cancel signal component, a cancel signal component corresponding to a leakage signal generated between an input and output of the mixer. The digital signal process unit includes subtractors for subtracting the first cancel signal component and the second cancel signal component from a signal component corresponding to a frequency band divided from an input signal to obtain a digital signal.

    摘要: In the conventional technique, only an output having a bandwidth identical to the bandwidth of individual DACs has been obtained even by using a plurality of DACs. Also, even when the output of a bandwidth broader than the individual DAC is obtained, there has been a problem associated with asymmetricity of a circuit configuration. In a signal generating device of the present invention, a plurality of normal DACs are combined to realize an analog output of a broader bandwidth beyond the output bandwidth of the individual DACs, and the problem of the asymmetricity of the circuit configuration is also resolved. A desired signal is separated into a low-frequency signal and a high-frequency signal in a frequency domain, and a series of operation of constant (r)-folding the amplitude of the high-frequency signal and shifting it on the frequency axis to superimpose it on the low-frequency signal are made in a digital domain. The output of each DAC is switched by an analog multiplexer.

    摘要: A signal generating device includes a digital signal processing unit, M sub DACs of which an analog bandwidth is fB, M being an integer equal to or greater than 2, a broadband analog signal generating unit configured to generate a broadband analog signal that includes a component of a frequency of (M-1)fB or more by using M analog signals output from the M sub DACs. The digital signal processing unit includes components for generating M original divided signals that correspond to signals obtained by dividing a desired output signal into M portions on a frequency axis and down-converting the portions to the baseband, components for generating M folded divided signals by folding back the M original divided signals on the frequency axis, and a 2M×M filter that takes the original divided signals and the folded divided signals as inputs and outputs M composite signals to be transmitted to the M sub DACs. The 2M×M filter can set a response function independently for each of 2M2 combinations of input and output.
