Patent EP-1686797-A3 (EP)
IPC: H04N5/45
Filed: 1997-03-14
Abstract: A television system has a television viewing mode (50) and a guide mode (56, 58). The guide mode includes an electronic program guide (EPG), which provides the viewer program information for tuned programs, and a tape index guide (TIG), which provides information for programs recorded on a video cassette (16). In both guides, real time images of a program are displayed in a PIP window (50) on the television screen and guide information (56, 58) is displayed in the background. In both guides, the viewer may switch between a currently telecast program or a recorded program. The viewer may access either guide from the television mode and vice versa. In the guide mode, the viewer may independently switch the guide information and the type of program, i.e. tuned or recorded, in the PIP window.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and a method for improving the receive (Rx) sensitivity of a portable Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID). The portable RFID reader/writer is equipped with a variable phase shifter which is connected between an antenna and a directional coupler and then changes an impedance in the direction of the antenna in response to controlling a phase shift, a level of a reflection signal if a transmit (Tx) signal of the portable RFID reader/writer reflected by the antenna flows into an Rx path is measured, and then the phase shift of the variable phase shifter is controlled in such a manner as to minimize the measured level of the reflection signal. Therefore, calibration is implemented so that an antenna impedance changing in response to a position in which contact is made by a user's hand may have an adaptively optimal antenna reflection coefficient, thereby improving the Rx sensitivity.
