Title: TFCI decoding
Inventor: OHSUGE MICHIHIRO
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 2003-06-04
Abstract: A transport format combination indicator (TFCI) decoding circuit and decoding method, in which a transport format indicator (TFI) for a relevant transport channel is determined, employs all TFCI codeword information within a transmission time interval (TTI) in order to enhance reception performance. A TTI combination pattern generating unit generates as a TTI combination pattern all of the possible combinations of TFCI within a TTI having the longest interval among the TTIs for a plurality of transport channels, based on the fact that the TFI of a certain transport channel is not changed within the TTI on the transport channel. An adder adds, for each pattern, the likelihood for each radio frame calculated by a likelihood calculating unit, based on the TTI combination patterns. A TFI determination unit determines the TFI number of a relevant transport channel by selecting a pattern having the highest likelihood from among the TTI combination patterns.

Title: Circuit board having first and second inductors mounted on either side of the board
Inventor: FRIEDLANDER HAIM
IPC: H05K1/18
Filed: 2003-07-15
Abstract: A circuit board construction 15 comprises a first inductor 13 electrically connected to a second inductor 14, where the first inductor is located on a first surface of the circuit board and the second inductor is located on the other surface of the circuit board. When each inductor has the same inductance, this construction allows the total inductance of the two inductors to remain constant during any deformation of the circuit board as the increase in inductance of one of the inductors as it contracts 19, cancels out the decrease in the inductance of the other, as it expands 17. The circuit board may be used in a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) circuit in, for example, a mobile telephone. The inductors may be air core coiled inductors and the axes of the coils of the first and second inductors may be parallel to each other.
