Abstract: An optical disk 11 (sample) is laid on a sample moving
unit 21 within a vacuum chamber 20. An electron beam radiating
mechanism 30 radiates an electron beam to the optical disk 11
while moving the optical disk 11 at a constant speed. Electron
detecting means 27 detects an electron from the optical disk
11. Thus, the track pitch is measured on the basis of a detected
electron signal and a measured movement amount of the optical
disk 11. Also, the electron beam radiating mechanism 30 is
provided with a fast deflector 33 for averaging within a
deflection area to measure the track pitch.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a radar apparatus that forms multiple digital beams based on reflected waves of a transmitted radiowave. A transmit signal is transmitted in a predetermined cycle from one of transmitting/receiving antennas A1 to A4 arrayed in a row. The antennas A1 to A4, each switched between transmission and reception, are arranged such that the ratio of the spacing between one pair of adjacent antennas to the spacing between the other pair of adjacent antennas is 1:2. The reflected waves are received by the respective antennas, and DBF is performed based on the resulting received signals. Eleven-channel DBF is achieved using the four antennas with a space equivalent to six antennas. By achieving multiple channels with a minimum number of antennas, the size and cost of the apparatus can be reduced while also reducing the processing time and thus enhancing the performance.

Abstract: A communication system, a network element, and a branch circuit for the communication system, in which communication system a cable television signal and a baseband duplex data signal are transmitted as a combined signal in a coaxial cable network. The branch circuit is coupled between the high-impedance receiving port of the node point of the data network, and a combiner combining the cable television signal and the baseband duplex data signal. In the combiner, the data signal to be transmitted and the data signal to be received are separated into separate branches whose impedances are arranged to be unequal so that the impedance is arranged to be substantially higher in the receiving branch than in the transmission branch so that the impedance of the receiving branch consists primarily of the impedance of the receiving port. The receiving branch is provided with voltage amplification by means of a transformer coupling in the receiving branch and the impedance of the receiving branch, to compensate for attenuation in the receiving branch.
